Dated Album Covers

Oh nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo...

I've been scarred...

 

the topless pre-pubescent blind faith LP cover girl. she's like 60 by now.

 

I'm not positive, but I think have an idea that Richard Clapton took his name after Eric - so any confusion is intentional.

Not that there is much similarity in their music.

 

It can be, and I take your point, but generally when people say "Gee, that's dated". I think they mean it as a pejorative, as in "It looked OK at the time because that sort of thing was fashionable".

 

Agree. The most common usage of "dated" is not value-neutral.

Also, from the original post:

 

I got this from the dollar bin, great music but the design screams early 80s

Best of 3 Dog Night double album



3 dog night best of - Google Shopping

 

Point taken, but the cover is half the charm of that album. Pure pre-Photoshop goodness.

 

Compared to the music, you're probably correct. High-yo!

 

Pretty much every Hipgnosis cover. Nothing screams 70s classic rock more than this!

 

I’ll see your Holograf, and raise you…

 

In a good way!

 

Nope...

 

Available now as disk 6 on this set:
Hatchbox: The Original Album Collection by Tony Hatch
I love a lot of these themes, they had legs back when instrumental music could hit the charts.

 

An incredible vision.

What do all those symbols down the left hand side of the sleeve signify ?

On top of that ,I never knew Geronimo had a Cadillac.

 

Clip art.

 

Looks like they are images from previous albums. Take a look at their discogs.com page:

Modern Talking

 

They look like covers that Siegfried & Roy would release.

 

It's not the greatest cover shot, but I'm not sure in what sense it's "dated". Calling something dated implies that there was a time when it looked good.

 

Is dog racing still a thing?

 

Why is it dated?

And I think it's a great cover
