Some of the music here was as strange as many of the stories on the show.  Sepiatone |

I like this cover wrapper for The Band's Moondog Matinee. It was all covers they used to do as a bar band and this really evokes the feel. :format(jpeg):mode_rgb():quality(90)/discogs-images/R-1768869-1291216550.jpeg.jpg) |

The actual cover was black with a kind of red neon lettering and that's what the CD cover is today, but for the original release there was a wrap-around with that picture on it. It probably got separated a lot but I always tried to keep the shrink wrap intact. ![]()  |

The Band's Moondog Matinee cover sleeve reminds me some of Guy Peelaert's cover for his book Rock Dreams.  It was inevitable that he's do album covers but I'm actually surprised he didn't do more. He caused a stir with the "It's-ruining-our-children" faction with his cover for David Bowie's Diamond Dogs (1974), with an anatomically correct dog on the back morphing into Bowie on the front. It was the perfect freak show ambience Bowie was going for at the time. This shows how the controversy caused it to be airbrushed for future pressings.  And the Roman Empire decadence of the Rolling Stones at the time was also perfectly captured on the cover of It's Only Rock 'N' Roll (1974).  |

Perhaps Annie Leibovitz can do no wrong?
Not to mention a fine album. Born in the U.S.A. (1984) and Nebraska (1982) (an even better album) came from the same couple years of recording sessions.

It's all "to each" here as I wouldn't consider a photo of Springsteen's rear end as cover "art" Nor "Born In The U.S.A. a "fine album"( I considered it Springsteen's worst effort).
Annie is a fine photographer, but has done much better work than those two LP covers. Known mostly for her portrait and fashion photography, not much on the "artsy" end. In other words....
She's no Ed Weston.

I am guessing we all saw the recent remarkable headlines... Vinyl sales surpassed CDs for the first time in 35 years as records make 'remarkable resurgence'www.businessinsider.com/vinyl-sales-surpass-cds-first-time-since-1987-record-resurgence-2023-3?ampAnd speaking of remarkable.... I had no idea Born was such a huge album: Certified 17× Platinum by the RIAA, selling over 17 million units in the United States, and over 30 million copies worldwide - wowser! Now that's iconic. A few more covers from the iconic files... sure wish I had this set. Columbia Music For Gracious Living Series      |
