Album covers as art

[Wardsweb]

I've framed album covers before and hung them, but this Steely Dan Aja on canvas is more like real art.

Very nice!  It looks to be a bit bigger than 12" X 12".  For some reason I have a framed The Doors' Morrison Hotel in our guest bedroom.

Yes, it is closer to 24" x 24". By the way, the little turntable is actually a radio. Press the silver botton on the front and the lids opens. Move the tone arm and it turn on. Move the platter to find your station. I just had to have it.

I completely missed it.  Maybe because of the size, maybe because of my eyes.  Very Cool !

Luther,

Nice find! sounds very cool.  One of my desert island discs for sure.  I wish HDtracks or somebody would come out with a hi-res version of the remastered vinyl.  I had the 180g vinyl that Fagan and Becker remixed they way they originally wanted it (i.e. not for fm play), but sold it with the rest of my collection.

One of my favorite posters is just the song list/lyrics sheet from a copy of The Allman Brothers "Eat A Peach". The inside of the jacket on the same album is a little too crazy for the rest of my room.

I got to see them first in 1969 as the "Warm-up Group" for Santana.  This was after Santana's first LP and just before Abraxis.  I was a fan of both, still am.  Well, I am a fan of early Santana.  but I'm an old fart.

Haha, you and my dad would get along. He was living in Atlanta after getting out of the Navy and talks about their free shows in the park on Sundays.

Yes, Piedmont Park.  The concert I saw was in the Atlanta City Auditorium, called the Concrete Castle.  It wasn't a bad hall acoustically.  Your father and I would share a number of memories.
