Have to agree, I personally liked the heavy metal album covers, demons holding electric guitars fire everywhere, whole thing hand drawn, to easy nowadays and there is no skill in what you see
Look up Alberto Vargas and Gil Elvgren if you like this style of pinups. They’re probably the two most famous and recognizable. And if you want to get weird with it, take a look at Hajime Sorayama.
Bought a first pressing vinyl LP. Still have it in my collection.
It’s a Vargas, hardly your average album artist.. and hardly your average musicians either!
The Cars were very much ahead of their time.
Vargas girls are da bomb!
That’s nuts. I always think of this a 80s music. Never realized it came out in ’79
I’m pretty sure the first draft of this cover didn’t have the bathing suit/unitard.
All we got in the 90s was some little dudes wang.
I happened upon a subreddit for this topic. Just slapping some sexy person on the cover for the album art.
I bought the Star Wars soundtrack album when it came out and have a strong memory of it’s smell. Awesome gatefold album.
Ohio Players Club: same difference.
Emerson Lake and Palmer’s Brain Salad Surgery is fantastic albumn art. ELO’s Out Of The Blue as well.
That one definitely was
Good album
Tawny?
Dad had this album
.🎶🎵…..Candy-O, I need you…..🎶
Dude, the 70’s was totally Awesome!!!!
Don’t worry. Someone will be along shortly to tell you why you’re bad for liking this.
I always liked Patti Smith Group – Easter 😉
Roxy Music album covers
Didn’t these guys know your were supposed to wear suits to trick the moms?
Vargas came out of retirement to do this cover art!

Love it. It also reminded me of an 80s cover by Frankie goes to Hollywood.

My brother had the Golden Earring album with Radar Love on it. That had a nude woman on it, with body paint, from memory.
