The art of the album cover isn't what it was. Indeed, now that most of us download or stream our music, there's precious little need for any album artwork whatsoever. Back in the day, part of the ritual of getting a new vinyl record was studying the cover, reading the sleeve notes, the lyrics.
Of course, audio spods are bringing the vinyl back, insisting that the sound quality is better than CD or MP3. Frankly, though, we can't tell the difference. But maybe that's because our ears are blocked with a mixture of leaf mulch and "daub".
In tribute to the golden era of album covers, here are 21 that are best left here: in the past.
