Ten Favourite Record Covers
To help me narrow the selection down to ten I used a few rules or criteria to help distinguish the great from the good. Choosing just ten covers was difficult, putting them in some kind of order would be even harder so I've chosen to present them alphabetically... enjoy!
- the cover must work with the music in some way, enhancing the overall experience.
- ... yet it should be able to stand independent from the music as a work of art in itself.
- the cover must be intriguing and withstand long hard looks without becoming boring.
- extra points for inserts, back covers and overall design.

Obsession #1: Coloured & Picture Disc Vinyl
This is the first in a possible ongoing series dealing with particular 'obsessions' I have. These obsessions could be music formats, consoles, bands, directors, genres, eras etc.
I am a bit of a collector, not as crazy as some out there - due mostly to a lack of money - but I do collect a fair bit and have a love for owning things - especially with music, having never bought a digital download - so the first obsession I would like to go into is vinyl, but not vinyl as a whole but in particular coloured or picture disc vinyl.
Vinyl is the ultimate musical object, a musical fetish. For those who are old enough vinyl signals memories, nostalgia, childhood. It also suggests a process of listening that for the most part has gone, the placing of the needle, the crackle showing a well loved record, the cleaning of the vinyl etc. Included are pictures of my collection of coloured and picture disc vinyl.
