Respect for your bravery and involvement! 8)

however, I dare to say that the originals have that undeniable "je ne sais quoi-  ::) - mixture of cheap sex appeal, elegant bad taste and hairspray-for-men"..that oozes 1975... ;D

That cover art is actually quite fine considering what kind of artist Tom Jones is.
Spatial distortion is a serious problem deteriorating headphone listening.
Crossfeeders reduce spatial distortion and make the sound more natural

To me the Tom Jones isn't bad, it simply reflects the style of covers at the time.

Looks like an arrangement of a Bach portrait lithography transcribed in colors.

I agree that the sun glasses are a bit old fashioned. But so is the music.  :)
... music is not only an 'entertainment', nor a mere luxury, but a necessity of the spiritual if not of the physical life, an opening of those magic casements through which we can catch a glimpse of that country where ultimate reality will be found.    RVW, 1948
