Tomstruck Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 Did you ever buy a album just for the cover art not knowing the artist or music and being surprised that you like the music I purchased this album back when it was first released and I was in high school just because I thought it looked COOL had no clue who he was or type of music did not care it was about the cover turns out I liked the music too its synthesizer music I have even bought more of his albums So my question to everyone did you ever do the same and what album was it 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GdnrBob Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 I had never heard of Steely Dan, but the Aja album cover was quite distinctive. I also got the Fleetwood Mac Rumors album at about the same time. Both are pretty distinctive. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomstruck Posted April 10 Author Share Posted April 10 The Aja album is a great cover black on black with a little bit of face and the edge of her Kimono showing So you took a chance on the art work and found some great music Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GdnrBob Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 Yeah, I had never listened to Steely Dan before. I was/am mostly a Classical music lover. B 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ctsooner Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 I have never purchased off the cover, but I have loved many covers. As a kid, Sticky Fingers (Stones) was one of my favorites. If I recall, I think the zipper was real. I had a special recording from Japan. I have my albums just sitting in a box in the closet now. I should go look to see what's there. I really need to sell them. Not sure of the worth etc... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GdnrBob Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 I kinda kick myself for literally dumping my LP's years ago. I didn't have anything worth money, but, there were some that haven't been digitized, so I had to buy them again in order to have them converted to digital. To be honest, there were just a few that need to be digitized. B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She said, “Keep it, it is to “pop” sounding for me”… I actually rather like the whole album, at least something like all but 1 or 2 of the songs on it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
