I love album covers! Not the shrunken down versions they use on CDs, I mean those gloriously creative (mostly) 12” vinyl record album covers. I was looking through my vinyl record collection the other day and marvelled at some of the amazing designs of some of the covers. Now, before we start delving into some classic album covers as well as a few personal favourites, a little history is in order, but don’t panic – there will not be a quiz later.

I’ve written before that I am no expert on film. My favourite movies are comedies, music documentaries, and big dumb action movies. So when my movie buff brother Amir asked me to watch The Expendables 2 with him this weekend, I obviously jumped at the chance.
When The Expendables came out a couple of years ago, I thought it was one of the most ridiculous, and also one of the greatest movies ever. Not in a cinematic masterpiece sort of way, because I’m not completely unhinged, but it was so entertaining. The special effects were and fighting sequences were top notch, the story line non-existent and the script was laughably bad.
