Looks like Jerry Howard had a sex change operation too!

I've always wondered who would let their child pose for something like that except Brook Shields mother.

Or the Brit cover for "Blind Faith".

Haha, I've had that album for about 30 years. Probably haven't listened to it in 20, I guess it's time to dust it off. Is "Isn't It Quiet And Cold" on that one?

He is of course referring to Gentle Giant's 1971 release called "Acquiring The Taste". Mr_dB, as soon as you dust it off, listen to the song called "Wreck". It is absolutely brilliant, as I'm sure you already know.

Every time I see your avatar the riff from "Starless & Bible Black" starts echoing through my head.

Too bad a lot of these links are dead now for the photos.

WAS a great thread.

As bad as these album covers are, what is perhaps more frightening is imagining what the music inside was like.

So, although I may regret this, does anyone have any clips? It just seems a shame not to complete the circle of crassness.
