From my recollection, my father (former employee at Capitol in production) explained the Frank Sinatra Lovers album. Frank hated that he looked strung out and made them revamp the cover. My only argument was that Frank had to have seen and approved the artwork before printing, but he argued his case. So, just food for thought, I suppose.

I LOVED this video. Your collection and knowledge and your passion for your records is intense. One cool thing is that I have a lot of the oddball records you showed. In fact I have a couple of the Co- Star records and used pieces of the Maxie Rosenbloom disc for a track on my own CD. One prize in my collection is your record. I'm 61 of Italian decent and when I learned about your record, I searched and found a mint copy on Discogs. So, the title is "I Can Take A Joke". Remember I'm a wop; and the record, came from Italy, in an inverted PIZZA box, which I've kept because I love the story, and then it hit me... I can take a Joke! ...Oh ya, stop showing records that make me spend money I don't have. PS...a newer test track can be found on Cornelius "Ripple Waves" album trk 1. This is a remix of his "Mellow Waves" album from 2017. He does incredible recordings using space to it's fullest. He loves to use binaural mics. A truelly incredible and unique artist. You'll love it! Anyways keep spinning, you crazy MOFO. And Zappa is the best!

I've been a huge Meat Loaf fan since my teenage years, and that befuddling cover for the reissues of his debut has always puzzled me. All I can figure is that they wanted to make a quick buck with a cheap rerelease capitalizing on the success of Bat Out of Hell the previous year, and some rights issue prevented them from keeping the 1971 cover. It does feel like Motown just told an intern to do it with some condiments taken from a staff cafeteria.
