_Mr. Blue you did it right,  
But soon comes Mr. Night,  
Creepin’ over, now his  
Hand is on your shoulder,  
Never mind I’ll remember you this way_

I’m looking at this double album-reminded of one thing that made LPs so great-the album art! The outer jacket has this huge multicolored space station with a docking ship that looks very much like the space shuttle. (Out of the Blue was 1977)

You just can’t get that kind of imagery on a 12 cm jewel case.

Not anymore, you don’t! If you don’t use it for a certain number of months in a row, they close it on you. The mail I sent you was returned because someone with that username doesn’t have a Yahoo account. That doesn’t mean you can’t get a new one, though…
