jar: No, I have been around long enough to miss physical vinyl records so much that I decided to blog about it. I have however always been intrigued by the art and ideas behind these album covers. Whether they are a piece of art themselves, complement or refer to the music...that doesn't really matter. All I see is a story. Unless it's "Techno/trance/Ibiza collection volume 350.8". Then they are usually a bit bland...or before covers were used to grab attention. But even then, they have been created and accepted for a reason - in fact, they have their own story.
