ALBUM COVER AWARDS! Beauty & The Beast Strike Again!

Album covers! Again! Those cardboard devices that keep your vinyl from getting too dusty and dirty! We're growing so tired of the pretensions and gaudiness passing our way lately that our eyes and minds are becoming sore! What happened to the good old days of record covers like Meet The Beatles? On the other hand, following that line of logic, you might end up with Get The Knack, and we wouldn't wish that on our worst enemy! So before we put our foot in our mouths anymore, Boy Howdy is once again happy to award the best and the worst in the current state of album cover art. Darn 'em anyway!
