11/19 Album Cover Time (No 3)

It's been awhile since I featured some classic cover art.  Back in the day, album covers had so much "pizzazz" - nowadays you usually get a big face on the cover, some 3rd rate computer graphic artwork, or a sexy woman.  These were from the days of vinyl yore....

Bruno Walter's series of the symphonies each featured some great designs
---------------------------------------------
 ---------------------------------------------
Steinberg and the 9 Small Thunderers.
 ---------------------------------------------
Not sure what exactly is on the cover here, corn flakes? - but there sure are alot of them....
 ---------------------------------------------
Puzzling, but seductive
 ---------------------------------------------
Creepy and pastoral at the same time.
---------------------------------------------
Quite fond of the "art nouveau" stylings - I only wish they had a put a cartoon version of Furtwangler instead of an old BW photo....
 ---------------------------------------------
Then again you still have some like these below...are they selling Beethoven or a skin care lotion?
 ---------------------------------------------
Beethoven looks a bit stiff here ;)
---------------------------------------------
Prepare the coffee...
---------------------------------------------
Art Toscanini and his 19 clones are coming over....
