The Damned’s [_Phantasmagoria_](http://images.coveralia.com/audio/t/The_Damned-Phantasmagoria-Frontal.jpg). The girl is cute, and I’ve found the cover to be hauntingly beautiful since I bought the LP when it came out. Incidentally the model, Susie Bick, has been married to Nick Cave since 1999. ---

Just random results of “Sexyalbum covers.” I thought you were trying to share specific images, as you post indicated. It took a second for me, but I saw the specific covers that were linked too. Give them a few seconds to load. The Google page will load first, then the specified cover will pop up. At least it did for me. ---

Since he posted a link three times indicating three different images, I expected a different image each time, not “Where’s Waldo?” I wasn’t familiar with the album covers, so they didn’t jump out at me.

Oh, like if you click on one of the images, it gives you the dark rectangle, a bigger version of the picture, and like you said, other thumbnails on the right. Yeah, I’m not getting that, that’s why I was having problems. Oh well. I generally click on the “View Image” button and use that URL. Thanks again. ---
