Here's yet another round of overdue shout-outs of appreciation to the classic (and not-so-classic) album covers we have "borrowed" over the years to enhance "the look" of The Very Heavy Uncle Show.
Note: Do Not Adjust Your Set (or your medication). You haven't actually seen some this artwork on the podcast pages yet... We display it here now because it's just easier for us to follow the volume numbers in order.
VHUS Classic Encore 48 won't actually hit the cycle until mid-January, 2017... but here's a sneak peak! Italian proggers MAD CRAYON aren't the most prolific of bands (3 studio albums in 22 years) but each one is a treat. We borrowed the cover of their 1994 debut ULTIMOMIRAGGIO to dress up Vol. 48. Educated eyes will see tributes to several classic Italian prog rock albums of the 70's.
After the lackluster double-shot of "Mirrors" and "Cultosaurus Erectus", BLUE OYSTER CULT made a hugely successful return to form with 1981's FIRE OF UNKNOWN ORIGIN. An odd-choice to adorn a Christmas-themed episode, in hindsight I should have decked the cult in red with white fur trim. Well, maybe next year...
Another one you haven't seen yet - the re-skinned v.50 will make it's Classic Encore debut on Thursday the 29th, just in time for 2017! NEKTAR'S 1973 REMEMBER THE FUTURE (easily their most recognized and successful album). You might be asking yourself: Why no VHUS trademark purple here? Good question. Answer: Purple just didn't work here. The original speaks for itself.
You all know this one. (BLACK SABBATH - HEAVEN AND HELL) Our first stab at a wider spectrum of episode artwork. Why no purple? Just like NEKTAR - it just didn't work. Well, why not just leave it alone? That didn't work for us either.
