Classic Vinyl LP Album Covers

I started collecting vinyl records in 2011 after finding a cache of them for a few dollars at a garage sale in Rumson NJ. If you like this sort of thing, check out LP Cover Lover, a site that features hundreds of well-photographed album covers.

Martin Denny Records

Martin Denny is known for his exotic instrumentals that provide the soundtrack for most Tiki bars. His album covers are know for beautiful women in exotic locations. I've paid as much as $10, and as little as free for Denny albums.

Nancy Sinatra

My favorite song as a child was "Boots" (the Mrs. Miller version). Since then I've grown to appreciate collecting Nancy Sinatra records. She is easy on the eyes.
