Thanks for the tip! I'll have to check the record stores. I love
"Powerhouse" and recently used The Bobby Hammack Combo version on a
multimedia proposal (from the '96 compilation CD "Space-capades"). I've
tried fusing other photo pairs on albums with little luck. Has anyone made
a list of 3D album art? I know the subject has come up before and a number
of people have mentioned personal favorites, but does a list exist? If not,
I wouldn't mind compiling and posting a list to the web if enough
information is gathered. My personal favorite is the lenticular cover to
"GOLDEN THROATS Vol. 2" (Rhino records) which features bizarre recordings
by William Shatner, Mae West, Eddie Albertson and others.
