Forget the music!....below are three recent vinyl releases worth getting just for the covers. The music within is just a bonus. Today's impressive graphic artists are helping to drive the strong revival of the LP format!

TIP: The national chain Michael's Crafts sells 3-packs of album cover frames (accentuated with black trim) for less than $25. These albums look beautiful on the wall and give the impression I have high standards of artistic taste!....(but, if you bought the CD of these recent releases, you'd have a flimsy 3x3 paper square to look at once -- and put on a shelf)

I'll be featuring some vintage classic album covers here soon...
