Boys, if you REALLY want to see the greatest album cover of all time do a 'Net search for Carly Simon's "No Secrets" album, ca. 1972.  In a way it's not TOO much different from that Van Halen album, but that's all I'm going to say about it!

Phil Manzanera's "Diamond Head" album had a nice shot of Uncle Pete's City of LA's E-9's. Brian Auger's Oblivion Express albums typically had stylized early CB&Q streamliners on their albums.

But why their previous album didn't have a T-1 on on the front is beyond me Smile

You bet it's irresistable!  Who doesn't like the Dreyfuss Hudson?  OK, SOMEBODY out there doesn't like the Dreyfuss Hudson, but MOST everybody likes it!

I recently received a copy of VanHalen's A Different Kind of Truth album.  Now, I'm not going to try to convince you to listen to them, but what I thought was interesting was the fact of what they decided to have a cut-out of on their album cover.

I never would have thought that a group like VanHalen would have ANY train on ANY of their albums, but I guess it just proves that the draw of a train like this one is irresistible. Right?Cool
