Albums I Bought For the Cover Art Alone
Some music is timeless and deserves to be part of any serious record collection. Other music is terrible but has really hilarious cover art. When records cost fifty cents each, I end up with a little bit of both kinds.
I love Gloria Estefan's intense stare and enormous hair. It really makes me believe that the album will contain, as the title suggests, some primitive love. The necklace keeps it classy, though.

Speaking of enormous hair, Barry really brings it here. It's certainly the Grammy winner for Nose of the Year, as well. Unless Streisand released an album that year, of course.
So this isn't technically a cover, but the back of Whitney's debut album is stunning. Just enough of nip to keep it tasteful. Clearly, this is the look of a woman who really DOES believe that children are our future.
Say what you want about Lionel Richie, the man really knows how to make love to a backwards chair. It makes me want to go blind and sculpt a clay bust in his image.
