I think as far as studio albums this has to be among the top choices. I really love the live songs, but on occasion it's nice to tune your ears to the studio version I think.


One question.... I just don't see it, but isn't there something to be read if you look at the cover of American Beauty backwards in a mirror? What is it? I can't see it. Am I missing something?

I haven't checked that one out in a mirror yet.
"Mars Hotel" has the "Ugly Rumor" thing on it, so you never know what's been lurking on those L.P. covers. Smile
Good album choice, btw.
Grey label (mono) copies of their first album are also pretty darn cool. It seems like nobody really knew what to do with stereo, until the early '70's.


Peace!

I dont't think you have to look in a mirror to see it, but the title also looks like it says "American Reality" of course you need to puff some of ur finest, close one eye, and squint with the other eye, but then poof! there tis....... Very Happy

Holy crap, nickelless, You're right! Laughing
I didn't even need a hit of "Mother's Finest" or any over-use of facial muscles to see it. Problem is, I'll always see it that way from now on! Laughing


Peace!

I noticed that the day after I got the album, it is pretty cool, and not many people seem to recognize it.
