LPs or albums, as records were also known, had a major plus over all other forms of music media, which was the size of area available for cover imagery. Even though a large majority featured lackluster photography, gaudy colors, impossible-to-read fonts, and forgettable titles, some great gems were produced during the vinyl years.
Scanned and retouched for your viewing enjoyment, I present the first 3 finds...

Those are lovely. Have you seen the Mary Poppins one? I found a picture of it on the net so the quality is kinda crappy.
