We must have been on the same "thing". ed. 
I love the Turtles album cover for Turtle Soup. The Turtles had many wonderful POP hits but their albums, especially Turtle Soup & Battle Of The Bands, show what great talents "Flo & Eddie" were!!! I love Turtle Soup!! Stands up to anything from the 60's....psych,pop, frenetic wildly beautiful, great music. By the way, Turtle Soup is the only album that Ray Davies produced for any band other than the Kinks. ( The Turtles were inspired by the revered Village Green Preservation Society, and enlisted Ray.) Obviously respected by Zappa also....such talents.

notice the same gritty photo style of Byrds' "Younger Than Yesterday", and "Love. Four Sail" cover art.
the Blind Faith original cover , was censored in the U.S. and replaced with the band members photo.
then, much later, art won out, and the original nude girl cover was recognised as the correct cover art we now see on most cds. i think.
same deal for Moby Grape's "finger" cover!!!!!!
i remember that episode. the finger was cut off! f*** that!
now the proper cover with the finger is recognized as standard cd cover art, after years of prudish and stupid censoreship.
the finger is universal language. pure rock commuication. Johnny Cash's famous finger photo always cracks me up! DAMN! that's a jem!!!
the finger has its place, and belongs on raw rock albums to be naked if it wants to. it would not look right on an Enya cd. or on the cover of a Mozart cd. but that M.G. Finger cover is right.
...what the world needs now... |

Hi Ed - yes Every Little Thing is an all time classic - and a superb example of the musical sophistication that The Beatles had already achieved by 1964. It was thought hip enough by Yes to be covered, in an elaborate and extended form, on their 1969 debut album - along with the etherial McGuinn/Crosby composition, I See You. Those were the days! |

The cover of Spaceritual (Hawkwind) is beautiful.

I think "Buffalo Springfield Again" was mentioned at Byrds/Buffalo as a fave. Me too!!!
I can remember when that came out in '68. I just listened to it over and over while taking in the beautiful cover, and reading all the back cover liner notes and song credits. Was that the longest Thanks & Dedication list ever?? It turned me on to a lot of artists I hadn't known before. A beautiful and entertaining cover. Get a vinyl copy for the cover alone...even if the vinyl is beat!! no better way to appreciate it.....
