Wow, I never saw any of those.

The Elmer City Rambling Dogs.
I’d post the cover art, but it would probably get pulled.

I had the original Blind Faith LP with the nude 14 yr old strawberry blond girl on the cover.
How did that ever get released?
Excellent LP

Are they the ones with cover of the person arched so far backwards their head is touching their feet? That creeped me out.
