  Too true.  There are even a number of books on the market devoted
to the cover art on the 12" vinyl record.  I wonder if the same kind
of recognition will ever be accorded to CD art work?   Hmmmm....

  Yep.  Not that particular album, but I've definitely been there.
<grin>  I've also bought a number of albums, sound unheard, purely
for the cover.  I doubt whether I'd ever do the same for a CD.
