My daughter bought me four album picture frames for xmas and I have just stuck them up in my little music room. Ok, not an inspired choice but, to me, they are great albums and I love the covers.
Have you got any on your walls?

Yup, in my listening room I have three pieces of 4AD cover art - two 'Pixies' and one 'His Name is Alive'.

I've got a Dead Can Dance one in the hall outside too.

Yes i have some, sort of ;) What i have is a very thick cardboard advertising thing for FSOL Dead Cities that was in a record shop in Grantham Lincs. I saw it & had to have it, managed to talk my way into getting it for nothing :eyebrows:

It's about 20" square..

3375

A little freaky maybe, but i like it :)

well back in the early 80's while still living with my folks i might add, i painted one of my walls with the 2 tone man, i was well into ska at the time, and my folks were pretty easy going.

Something like this

It was touch and go whether to pick Pink Moon or Brain Salad Surgery.:)

When I was a teenager I had 'Brain Salad Surgery' & 'Workingman's Dead' on my bedroom wall. Nowadays I prefer to put up framed sheet music - you can find some things with different artwork to what was released with the records which I find more interesting than the same old crusty classics........

Great choice of LP's Jerry!

I have a bit of an obsession with the film 'More' which Pink Floyd did the music for. I'm slowly getting the stuff I've collected framed, before it goes on display. This year Mrs B had a couple of beautiful Lobby Cards I bought a year or so ago framed... a complete surprise, it took her ages to find them in my stuff!

It makes your place look for personal I think.

Love that framed sheet music Chris!

I had three ASC PicturePanels made up with suitable musical motifs. You can choose images from their range or send something in yourself. These help break up room liveliness and supplement my four TubeTraps.

You can see two of them here:

I used to have a number of Rodney Mathews posters depicting artwork from Eloy, Magnum and Daimond Head.

Currently, I just have this, which is printed on board and framed.

Reminds me of the Hawkwind 'Warrior On The Edge Of Time' cover for some reason

Warrior on the edge of time reminds me of the image Rodney did for Moorcocks book "The Champion Of Garathorm". This is his only novel where the Eternal Champion is incarnated as a female warrior
