Still love my LP covers the best. Maybe because they are bigger.

Nowdays you can get one of those LP Frames and display it on your wall.

Jarring? No, I think the butterfly is really cool!

And yes, that photo with Dali is great! ;)

Oh, man! Thanks so much for those! They made me cry! Nothing on the old "worst CD covers" thread ever did - and some of those were hilarious! But this just beats everything (along with your comment, of course)! LOL!

:D ;D :D ;D :)

These are so awful they are beyond parody.

However, if it promotes the works in that people will listen to the music because they liked the covers (WHO?), then who am I to criticise?

I've noticed that the photographs on the Netherlands' Radio Philharmonic/Wagner series have been mentioned a couple of times;

they are made by Dutch star photographer Erwin Olaf. Check his website at : http://www.erwinolaf.com/

His most recent work is ...different! :D

I just came across this album while going through my old vinyl records. The same artwork was used for the CD, but it looks much better in the larger format. It was created by Salvador Dali, who is shown shaking hands with Gleason on the back cover. Apparently Dali and Gleason were good friends. The recording was released in 1955 (a very good year).

Not a classical recording, but interesting nonetheless (I hope).

A vast improvement on the stern Pierre of the original issue

For NY'ers interested his Grief series are still on display in Chelsea for another 10 days or so. I like his style in that series a lot

I believe those are two different recordings, the one with the lightnings being a newer recording.

Nope, the lightnings is a reissue of the old recording on a different DG sublabel.
