[Leica] IMG: a Yolo County sunset

[Adam Bridge]

Are album covers even a thing now? And would you buy the album? I have a grandson (just 6 on Thursday) who is heavy into Garage Band. May have to wait for him.

I do remember the heyday of album covers, though. A&M records had a “look” that really caught the eye of some of my buddies in college back in the late ‘60s. I’m sure some of those images (as I browse the albums now) still inform my photography. 

CDs really took away album covers (and notes). Now streaming has removed much of the rest.

Sigh.
