Another club date

McDonald’s Cave   By The Piltdown Men   Capitol Records Sweden   (Thanks again Ulf)     I feel like this photo is on a U.S. album cover too.   I’ll think of it.   Unless someone out there can first.   I’ll throw in an LP Cover Lover T-shirt to anyone that can show me an American released LP with the same cover…

Cover girl

Laura Nyro   “Eli’s Comin’ c/w “Sweet Blindness”   Columbia Records 1968   Two big hits written by Laura, but taken to the top of the charts by others (Three Dog Night and The Fifth Dimension).   I prefer these originals.

Paradise embossed

“Pa’que pa’ que” and “Sombrero Sao”   Lyra Records from Bolivia     These are beautiful little covers with bright, rich saturated colors.   I don’t know how these were printed, but the ink is thick and textured to the touch.
