This archive of record album and CD cover art presents some of the more historically interesting items I've collected over the years. I've always been intriqued by the odd, the unusual, rare & offbeat - though there is more mainstream material to be found here as well.
The album cover is a lost art - CD covers just don't have the space to create the impressive effect a great 12" cover had, though many artists are doing the best they can given the limitations of the CD. All the albums in this gallery have been played on the NeverEndingWonder Radio Empire. CLICK HERE TO LISTEN See something you'd like to hear? Drop us a line HERE.

| FRONT COVER: The Abominable
Dr. Phibes - Soundtrack COMMENTS: That's Vincent Price under that mask. Soundtrack is notable for containing vocal impressions by respected voiceman Paul Frees. He sings songs in the style of Humphrey Bogart, Chico Marx, W.C. Fields, and several others. The film is a stylish cult favorite. We play selections from this album on our annual Halloween blitz on NeverEndingWonder Radio. |

| BACK COVER DETAIL: The Abonimable Dr.
Phibes - Soundtrack COMMENTS: Assorted shots from the film. |
FRONT COVER: It's a
Beautiful Day COMMENTS: Stunning debut of seminal San Francisco band It's a Beautiful Day. Artwork obviously inspired by Maxfield Parrish. |
FRONT COVER: Blotto COMMENTS: If you could read the tiny typeface in the background, you would find it actually tells one long, really strange story- if you could tell all the words from each other, as it's all typed as one long word... Notice that this copy of the album is autographed by the revered Dr. Demento. Thanks Dr. D! |
