ALBUM COVER AWARDS JUDGING THE BEST!
"You can't judge a book by its cover,” Bo Diddley once sang—and the same is often true of album covers. Every so often, though, a record lives up to its cover and vice versa. Thus, we went through some of the best LPs of the previous year (that being 1984) and found some record covers that matched the music to be found on the vinyl.

ALBUM COVER AWARDS JUDGING THE BEST!
"You can't judge a book by its cover,” Bo Diddley once sang—and the same is often true of album covers. Every so often, though, a record lives up to its cover and vice versa. Thus, we went through some of the best LPs of the previous year (that being 1984) and found some record covers that matched the music to be found on the vinyl. It doesn’t always work, a perfect example being R.E.M. whose records are great—but whose album covers have been a mess so far. Nonetheless, Boy Howdy is proud to present some of the best album covers (with some of the best music) of 1984.
