[Music] Did you ever buy a single (7"or 12") because of the picture cover?

I did.

Spacer by Sheila B Devotion. As a teenager at the time, I just thought why not, she's gorgous. In Woolies in Portslade, on a Saturday morning, before going to The Goldstone, probably.

Turned out I loved it and still play it loads and loads.

Great tune. Used to buy LPs all the time because of the cover and discovered some great music as a result. My intro into Metallica a good example.

I had that. I bought two copies, one to keep and one to play.

I knew Doug Sanders at the time.

Nice shiny silver foil. Album, though, not single.

A Roger Dean artwork if I'm not much mistaken, did a lot with Asia and Yes!

I bought this album simply because the cover was by Roger Dean and I'd read it was becoming quite valuable. Absolutely awful music (or at least I thought so last time I played it 40 years ago). Also features the vocals of 12 year-old Keith "Cheggers" Chegwin. Ugh.

I picked up the original Robert Williams cover of Appetite For Destruction a couple years ago, despite not being a huge Guns N' Roses fan. Well worth it.

Yes I did. I hate heavy metal well most of it. Brought an Iron Maiden album purely for the cover called Killer's or something like that

Wild Willy Barrett & Two Names' "Organic Bondage" was another album I bought for the cover. Totally unique, each one was personally made out of wood by Wild Willy himself I believe.
