  5. Thanks, I'm a painted cover guy as well but these are better photo covers with the bondage angle on most of them. Of course, the two I'd be most interested in were both quite smartly snagged already Nice pickups ThothAmon
  6. My 20 year old daughter in college just dropped on me the other day that she started listening to this album and can't stop looping it. Granted she has great musical taste (obtained from her father's endless playing of 60's & 70's RnR in the home during her childhood ) I told her that album was AOR radio throughout 1977, just song after song rotating into the top of the charts. I still have my original vinyl of it. It did get "played out" back then but I enjoy hearing it again now. As for News Of The World - I agree with all of what youse guys are saying. I first heard Queen when my older brother played me "Bohemian Rhapsody" on the 8 Track in his car. I went out and found Queen, Queen II, Sheer Heart Attack, A Day at the Races, and Night at the Opera at Titus Oaks record shop on Flatbush Avenue and bought News of The World the week it came out. I saw them live on that tour at Madison Square Garden. Brian May was my ultimate guitar hero. The King of Tone. So the mods don't think we're spamming the thread, I am officially announcing that I'm wrapping up work and will get this party started pretty close to the announced time. I have a lot of Science Fiction/Fantasy lined up since that's still at the top of the pile and folks seem to be enjoying it
