[HOPS5K]

 

[BlueBlazer]

Great idea for a thread.

Three came to mind for me


Her Satanic Majesties Request ~ Rolling Stones

The original cover was a plastic 3D pic (it changed some depending on how you looked at it) All four of the Beatles are hidden in the stuff at the bottom. It was fun looking for them.


Santana ~ Santana

Lion's faces within faces . . . say no more

Street Corner Talking ~ Savoy Brown

Lots of stuff going on on this street.
