I know I've seen this list before because it has Little David Wilkins and this masterpiece.



Don was "Cadet Don Travis" who had a local kiddie show in Houston for several years, IIRC late 50s to mid 60s.  Seymour was his space serpent buddy. A great album, I'm sure.  ;)  Don is the father of former kid actor Ike Eisenmann.

If you want a steady supply of album covers from great to bizarre, try the LP Cover Lover blog.

It was only a post... now it's a subject. You seem almost repulsed by this, Uwe. How come?

That's truly a wonderful resource, Dave. Thank you. Just as I was running out of ways to make poor use of my free time. ;D

My apologies, Uwe. I didn't mean to open an old wound. Even as a fan, I had no idea. Apparently Ritchie was able to squash this "Nur Deutschland" cover before too many were pressed. I guess the rift with Gillan started earlier than I thought...

There is an autographed copy of Roger at the vintage guitar shop in Franklin, OH on the wall.

I'm always surprised that nobody puts this one on any of those lists:

Dave... I think I'm beginning to understand Uwe's personal musical leanings - bordering on obsessive behaviour - how tall is he...? is there a "vertically challenged" issue, or megalomania...?

Uwe - "Tell me about your childhood..."

ok peeps... seek out a copy of Jo Jo Gunne's "Jumpin The Gunne" and be truly awestruck...  :rimshot:

http://friends.s5.net/mazzini/plosce/gunne0.html

but be warned, this is only for those with a truly strong constitution...  :puke:

I think I may still have this in the loft, somewhere...  :o

ps
just discovered that this link has a whole bunch more to enjoy...

Heaven, just heaven...
