My Favourite LP - well, one of them!
This has to be one of my all time favourite LPs. Elton John's Goodbye Yellow Brick Road from
1973. I think I probably got this for
Christmas - or saved up for it! Oh gosh, I've just realised that was 40 years ago! How can that be?????
I love it not just for the music, but for the incredible art
work.
Its not just the cover that is beautifully illustrated. Because it was a double LP, it opens out to
give all the lyrics and some amazing pictures.
Love this style of art.
Altogether brilliant!
What's your favourite LP art work - if you are old enough to
remember LPs, that is!!!!!!!
Love, Liz

One of my favourite albums of the 70s is Meatloaf's Bat Out of Hell. I well remember when I bought it and put it on the family stereo. My dad loved it. Mainly because everyone performing could sing. He didn't think much of the album art, but was confused when I explained that Mr Meat grew up in the gospel tradition. My dad has a lovely tenor voice and has always sung in church. He decided that although Mr Meat was a bit strange, he must be a bit okay because of his background.
I will have to go and have a look and see if I still have it. If I haven't, will have to check the adult children. They are very good and helping themselves to interesting stuff we have.
