I Find Your Lack of Bass Disturbing.
There was a time when album cover art was just as important as the music on the vinyl within.
In an age of digital downloads, we’ve mostly passed the era of detailed and iconic album covers, although many of us can still identify famous albums, bands, or even singles from the art on the front.
British graphic designer Steven Martin Lear has taken his passions for older music and Star Wars and mashed them together into an awesome art project that peppers his social media accounts on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. Can you identify these classic albums from Lear’s reimagined cover art?

Come to think of it, Oola really does remind me of Tina Turner. Would have loved to see a small Hutt on a leash instead of the cat, just for the sake of turning the tables.

Looking back at the original album cover for Rumours, I think he might actually be holding a Death Star.
