That's a great album too. Nicko McBrain from Iron Maiden drums on it.

Sean...agreed wholeheartedly. I saw Pat in Austin some years ago, but can't recall the name of the venue...I saw Dire Straights in the same place; I know it wasn't the Armadillo. At any rate, I still remember the opening of Pat's gig....it's not a RIC, but there's still something about a LP through a Marshall stack....

Probably the Backroom? Funny, I was living in Norfolk when you saw this show in Austin. We switched! haha

Thanks Kris,you saved me from "double-posting"! That's easily my all-time fave!
They looked absolutely perfect at that particular time! Macca mentions the photoshoot for this cover on the Anthology DVD, and how that "look" eventuated!

I always liked this one from Steppenwolf. I have a first run mint copy of this album, and the cover is perfect.
The For Ladies Only cover was kind of unique as well.

Yeah but the inside of the album cover of For Ladies Only had a picture of a car that was definitely for ladies only.
You don't get that pic with the CD.

Here it is, Mitch. Sean's likely came after.

Some trivia; the model was actually pregnant at the time and they used shaving cream as whipped cream kept melting under the lights. I actually bought this one at a thrift store in Denver.

Here's another. This one and "Whipped Cream..." were actually a couple of the better selling LP's he had.
