Still can’t get his face out of my mind. All these years later. I can still see him there… Daring me to react. It’s personal.

I miss those days when I would walk into a record store and scan the wall of new releases. Sometimes looking for nothing more than a sleeve that grabs my eye. That one cover that jumps at me, with no or limited knowledge of the music or musicians within those grooves. The art of album cover design …
