covers II

the first time i did this kind of post, it turned out to be a real belter. hopefully this newest installment will live up to the first one.

we close with this magnificent specimen. it was an awesome gift from jenn.

i invite you to check out the collection in my flickr account called "Records! Records! Records!" dedicated to scans of record covers and other vinyl-related stuff.
