There was a bit on this on Jonathon Ross's Radio 2 program last week.

There's a whole nostalgia about vinyl albums. We now have music almost on demand, able to skip forward and back at the push of a button.

I know as a child I used to love going through their albums. Part of what was so wonderful was looking through the art and the notes. It used to be a major part of an album was the cover art.

As music technology has moved on and it's become more portable, it's all changed, these days the album cover art isn't even important on an MP3 player.

I remember buying my Kate Bush collection on tape (feels criminal saying that).

Without doubt, the Kick Inside is probably one of my favourite album covers, but believe me on a cassette inlay it just doesn't do it justice. I thought it'd be interesting to find out other peoples favourite album cover art ...



Oh and this was the US album cover - another example of America getting it all wrong again ...
