Vibes Album Covers

Marcel Pascual 30 August 2011

Hi Vibes Lovers!

Sometimes when I'm looking for vibes albums I find that, altough the instrument is not very popular, or perhaps because of it, the vibraphone has especial atractive for the cover image. Bars, mallets, ressonators, frame, etc. are often protagonists of the picture, or ilustration. Sometimes is very artistic point of view, sometimes funny and sometimes just freak, but, even tough the important is the music wich is inside, I find amazing some covers!

I've attached some covers I like for their funny, artistic or freak use of vibraphone. What do you think? Have you any other vibes covers you love?

Marcel

should we build a section of the site for album covers??

step one would be to put them up individually as images.

what do you think. i dug checking them out.

I could be a good idea to make a section about covers or "art" about vibraphone, yes. Perhaps inside the Instrument section of the forum?
Ah, Tony, when I was doing this post I thought to put the images directly in the body and not with the file links. Is that possible? I didn't know how to add images.

Thanks!

Marcel

ok you know how to post an image? do that.

to link an image: do you have a green cross below the text box?? if so you click on that and you can add an image and choose an image already in the system. it's a little tricky.

best way is just add an image.
