Also Live-Evil Jr. Walker and the All Stars play Shotgun Country Living Roxy Music Innervisions Stevie WOnder Talking Book Stevie Wonder (The inner sleeve was typed in braile) The First Kansas Album Issac Hayes Black Moses (the large unfolding album cover with two sides of Issac Hayes) Luther Ingram I've Been Here All the Time (came with a framed photo of Luther on the cover) "Relayer" by Yes "Brain Salad Surgery" Emerson, Lake and Palmer "Bigger than Both of Us" Hall and Oats This album firmly put them in the mainstream. Their best one. "Hard Labor" Three Dog Night "E-Pluris Funk" Grand Funk Railroad The album jacket that resembled a coin. "The LOw Spark Of High Heeled Boys" and "Shootout at Fantasy Factory" Traffic The ones with the corners of the jackets slashed off. "In the Wake Of Posiden" King Crimson "America Eats IT's Young" Funkadelic The album that looks like a vicious American greenback "Odessa" The Bee Gees Very pre "Saturday Night Fever" with a velvet cover. The inside shows a baby being tossed to a liferaft. In their more artful state. "Thic As a Brick" Jethro Tull The alabum cover resembles a newspaper more than an album jacket. Don't wrap the fish in this one! "Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy" Elton John "Hot Butter Soul" Issac Hayes "Muscle Of Love" Alice Cooper The album that resembled a cardboard package than an album cover. "Spitfire" Jeferson Starship When they changed from the name of Jeferson Airplane. Shows drawing of Grace Slick riding the back of a dragon. "Foxtrot" Genesis In the midst of their art rock form. Contains the side-long "Supper's Ready" The promo single of "What YOu Won't Do For Love" by Bobby Caldwell. IT was stamped in the shape of a red heart. The folks who press the CD's will never come up with a marketing tool like that one. “Bitches Brew” Miles Daves (And the album is a trip too).

She also accused the bands Styx, Rush,Pink Floyd, Kiss, Van Halen and Queen of "Backmasking" promoting Satanism and Drug use. Considering that I had most of the albums by those groups I can blame that on my early, shall we say indescretions.
