Popular Post Marian Schedenig 8,193 Posted July 24, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted July 24, 2019 The Karajan Bruckners have been re-released once again, with their original covers: Newly remastered and remixed with supposedly much improved sound (except for those symphonies that were recorded digitally), and with my favourite album cover. I'll have to buy them again. Jurassic Shark, Ii2, The Illustrious Jerry and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this is limited to classical albums, why not something more 'artsy'? I love this one, from the Harmonia Mundi 50' set (which has great fine art on most of the albums).
