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: Tingling Mother's Circus - A Circus of the Mind

COMMENTS: This odd little album does not list any real credits. All the players are given character names, such as "Tingling Mother," etc. I have no idea if the people pictured on the album are really the musicians or not. One musician is listed as "Elliot" and the producer was Elliot Randall, so one assumes they are the same person- Elliot Randall later played on several Steely Dan albums, among other accomplishments.

BACK COVER, DETAIL: Tingling Mother's Circus - A Circus of the Mind

COMMENTS: Ooooooh - purple! Trippy! Psychedelic! Enigmatic!

INTERIOR ART: Tingling Mother's Circus - A Circus of the Mind

COMMENTS: The blurriness of this photo is not my fault- it's really that way in the album. I swear! This album skirts the edge of psychedelia- most of the songs are quirky, catchy, witty pop-rock numbers, with a couple of regretably lame covers. They do an inspired version of "Flowers On The Wall" with chipmunk sounding backup singers.

FRONT COVER: Chad Mitchell Trio - Reflecting

COMMENTS: Geez- these guys sure look serious! OH, they're reflecting! Get it? R E F L E C T I N G! They may look square, but these guys are pure pure folk revival left-wing politicos all the way! They do a mixture of traditional and folk revival type numbers, as well as some fun stuff by writers such as Shel Silverstein. Chad Mitchell now lives in Eugene, Oregon, acting in occasional musical theatre productions.
