Novelty Album Jackets
Anyone still have any novelty album jackets? The ones in my collection that come to mind are:

Long John Silver..Jefferson Airplane...Stash box -still intact-
Billion Doller Babies..Alice Cooper...Billion doller bill
Muscle of Love...Alice Cooper...cardboard carton
others with posters, etc.

The one that got away was the Cheech and Chong rolling paper

2. The Alice Cooper School's Out
Turns into a school desk, and the record had a pair of paper panties around it. Back in the day there was some big stink because the panties weren't fire-resistant...

4. Took me a year or so...
to figure out that the Pink Floyd album "Wish You Were Here" had navy blue shrink wrap hiding all the neat cover art.


D'OH!

It's been a long time since I rifled through my albums, but I know I have a handful of his stuff. I am still in possession of the Cheech 'n Chong Wedding Album (and rolling papers).

17. Led Zeppelin III
