Henry from Chunklet sent out an email about an upcoming book about the best 7" covers from '86-'06. I wanted to get my two cents in, so I took a quick trip through my 7"s which yielded the favorites below. Rather than submit a file with 20+ photos attached, I'm posting them here. Enjoy, and feel free to send links to your favs. (Notes: Yes, I played on one of these records and wrote liner notes for another. I didn't design them, though, so I'm still in the clear ethically, eligible for the proverbial cabinet. Also, there is one obvious oversight: Berserk's "Giant Robot" single on Merkin.)
