It's funny how instantly recognizable this style is. I like this one a lot, and I'm not even sure why!

Clearly, they missed an opportunity by not including "One Toke Over the Line." (Anachronism be damned!)

I like this one. And although I hate bull fighting, this one is nicely done.

I remember several of these: my dad had the Dean Martin and the Nat King Cole. It's interesting, this style of record jacket hasn't (yet) made a retro-chic comeback on any modern-day jacket designs, unlike, say, the Blue Note design aesthetic... wonder when some band will come out with something looking like these?
