soulpope Posted February 16, 2017 Report Posted February 16, 2017 (edited) This thread is dedicated to art featured on album back covers (so neither "extended" gatefold cover art - means one photography stretched over front and back cover - nor gatefold cover inner photos,inserts etc do qualify). Each posting should also feature the album`s front cover. So let`s start with this one .... : from the album Booker T & The MG`s „McLemore Avenue “ (STAX) 1970 Edited February 19, 2017 by soulpope Quote

duaneiac Posted February 17, 2017 Report Posted February 17, 2017 This front & back cover reflected the themes of the two sides of the album. Front cover/side one: was all about happy love songs, while the back cover/side two: was all about sad songs of lost love. Quote

Jim R Posted February 17, 2017 Report Posted February 17, 2017 Not to derail an interesting thread, but... Back cover or front cover, nobody has yet determined, and the mystery remains... from Steve McQueen's album collection... what is the LP at the upper left (not necessarily a match to the Roulette disc that is resting on it): Quote
