And now for some total cheese...

If you are a regular reader here you probably already know of my enduring love for album covers from vintage operatic and classical LP's.  Recently I purchased the old Westminster recording of Wagner's Der Ring des Nibelungen (my eighth, don't judge me) on iTunes and a friend reminded me of the original covers.  I have already posted Die Walkure a while ago but now I have the whole set for your enjoyment.  You can actually view their entire collection of covers at http://www.westminstergold.com/, and still purchase the remaining few LP's, some still in their factory plastic.

The recording is surprisingly good, with few big names in the cast and recorded (from what I can tell) in East Germany during the Cold War.  It's recorded in that bright, relentless hi-fi sound which to me epitomises the era and suits the cover art perfectly, though what Gotterdammerung has in relation to the other three covers has me mystified, where's the nudity?
