Reminds me of listening to Polish radio - I loved hearing them announce whichever opera it was Giuseppa Verdiego.

Alas, I do not know how to post images on this site, despite, I know, helpful stuff is posted by others. But I would offer:

The Cream, 'Disraeli Gears'
Velvet Underground 'White Heat, White Light'
The Mothers of Invention, 'Fillmore East June 1971'
Canned Heat 'Boogie with Canned Heat'
Alan Bennett et al. 'Beyond the Fringe'
Frank Zappa ' Chunga's Revenge'
The Doors 'Weird Scenes Inside the Gold Mine'

I usually only do classical stuff, honest.

Try this, ums...

The correct use of soap.magazine.

And talking of villa lobos, the cover of the Sao Paolo SO disc which includes Choro no 9.
Cool inside and out .

If I may be allowed to intrude with a spot of classical retro, the cover below I think is one of the most perfect and for me, resonant of all album covers, drawing me in to these pieces when I was the age of the two lads depicted therein:

Lovely, Edge... first LP I ever bought.

[Beef Oven!]

Nice one Rob.

I can't count how many girls I impressed, walking around the school with that album under my arm - on reflection, probably not many, it was an all-boys school!!
