| | Album cover - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | An album cover is a printed cardboard cover that was typically used to package 12" gramophone records from the 1960s through to the 1980s when the 12" record was the major format for distribution of popular music. | | | There is also a website about awful album covers, the Museum of Bad Album Covers. | | | The cover became an important part of the culture of music at the time. |

| | The Demise of Album Cover Art |
| | The "cover" of a CD is about 14% of the size of a record album; the artwork on a cassette box is just 7% as big. | | | For probably about 20 years or so (from the mid-sixties to the mid-eighties), the covers of record albums reflected the diversity, imagination, and creativity of the times. | | | The Rolling Stones put one album in an octagonal cover, and one of Rod Stewart's covers was in the shape of a whiskey shot glass. |

| | Jeff Central Exotica Research |
| | Unfortunately, the Theremin is not present on this album, and it suffers in comparison to the former albums due to that fact. | | | As with most Rugolo albums, the music on these albums is masterfully arranged in a pleasantly offbeat manner, and the orchestra consists of some of the best West Coast jazz musicians of the period. | | | About one third of the album is wonderful; especially the first two selections and a glimmering, rapturous piece of true outer-space music on the second side entitled "The Milky Way." The cover of the album should receive special merit. |
