What a great thread, and bringing back so many memories. I remember going to the The Record Joint on payday and coming home with a half dozen albums. One of the best parts was ripping off the plastic to see what may be packed inside with the record. The already-mentioned School's Out desk cover and Billion Dollar Babies wallet, and there was the AC album Muscle of Love with a cover like a cardboard box. I have decorated my classroom with about 40 album covers hanging on the wall, and the kids are fascinated with them. One day I took down the School's Out cover and showed them how it folded into a desk, and showed the contents of the inside of the desk. They were blown away. Speaking of Paul is dead, I put together a power point of many of the clues and present this to my class, mainly to show the genius behind it and to showcase the intelligence of the rock icons from "back in my day". I also play them some of the audio clues. The kids are so freaked out by this stuff that word spreads throughout the building and I have random kids showing up at my door asking me to let them see the presentation. We grew up in a great time period "back in the days".

GREAT comments. We have a lot in common. I'm a school counselor, and work music into a lot of my guidance lessons. What grade level do you teach?

In the early 70s it was said to be a strong experience to follow the text in the Jesus Christ Superstar gatefold cover while listening to the music. -Not my words, and I`ve never tried it. Anyone?

- Eh, well, the Jesus Christ Superstar cover actually was a LP box with a lush booklet containing the lyrics...
