Following on from the Chinese goods thread and whilst typing my reply there about screen printing, I paused to look at the bare white wall in my new apartment I moved into on Sunday . . . so being able to get a 1m square print of an album cover for £1.70 I thought how cool would that be . . . but what album? So, nominations for the best album art to cover my bare living room wall, which are white, so colourful would be best and not DSOTM.

I've got this as a poster and think it's pretty cool.

I'm not sure what my Chinese staff would make of that one when they came round Chris, let alone my cleaning lady!!! Funnily enough Mike and Slinger, I was thinking something by Roger Dean would be a good idea. Lots to choose from too and I really like his work from the early 70's.

Maybe a Budgie or Greenslade album? Or something like a classic Johnny Cash or Presley, so much choice. I really like Sticky Fingers too, that would look good on a white wall

How about getting two..... Cool idea, funnily enough I was thinking about the Elvis cover as I love the album, if you remember I picked it for Album Club once (on AoS, or was it here?). But the two together would look neat.

Yes, I did remember, hence the suggestion. I think it would be great and perhaps possibly even slightly better than the one with the french horn!

Here's my choice - and I really do have it up on the wall of my listening room.

I love the old copies of sheet music that you can get for not too much money because they often have different artwork to the record release, which makes it new to many people. I had one like this framed years ago and would have loved to have got a big copy made at the time.
