One of the best things about vinyl was the attention paid to the LP covers. This one's my favorite:

For sheer artistry, look for an artist. These are two of my favorites by Philip Castle and Vargas, respectively:

For "Most Fun to Play With", there are several as well.

Zeppelin III with the pinwheel disk of images that showed through the punched-out holes:

Faces' "Ooh La La" with the guy's jaw & eyes that moved when you pulled a tab:

Alice Cooper's "School's Out" cover that had short legs that folded out and a top that opened to reveal desk 'contents'. Said 'contents' included a pair of paper panties, at least in early editions:

Finally, one of the first really fun covers was "The Who - Live at Leeds"

Inside was everyone's favorite poster:

and a bunch of facsimile documents that periodically lead to the breathless ebay ad for "Original Woodstock contract! 'My Generation' lyrics, and more!" by those too young and clueless to know better.
