Does the appearance of an album/CD cover or the title in itself entice you to buy it? - SteveO - 26-09-2011
NOTE: I tried to amend the "a" to an "an" before the word Album and I couldn't...you get the drift even with the grammatical error !!!...lol I managed it for you............you had run out of character spaces !! Gryphon )
We may have all done it...cheap price...cool cover...or cool album title.
Here's an example of some of my discoveries:

Mostly for the title.

For both - title - Amateur Girlfriends Go Proskirt Agents ???? and cover...great album !!!!

Just for the brilliance of the colour...this is how I was introduced to Type O Negative.

Have done in the past, but not so much since the advent of internet mail-order (Amazon).
Rarely go into record stores now, not that there are many left...

I'm trying hard to think of something I found that I liked but only picked up because of the cover.

I always find at least one tune that I like. Two of the ones I posted sent me after more from the same bands. I enjoy exploring the world of music.
