I love album art. I still have quite a collection of albums. Some of my favorites covers are The Beatles, one particular favorite is from Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band. From Wikipedia:

In 1938, Columbia records hired Alex Steinweiss as its first art director. He is credited with inventing the concept of album covers and cover art, replacing plain covers used before. After his initial efforts at Columbia, other record companies followed his lead. By the late 1940s, record albums for all the major companies featured their own colorful paper covers in both 10-inch and 12-inch sizes. Some featured reproductions of classic art while others utilized original designs.

This blog topic was inspired by another blog I read frequently by John McWade of Before and After. What is your favorite Album Cover? CD cover?
