What a great idea! CILCIA probably would be the first album they would pick, as it’s the one that has Margaritaville on it. Just get the original art back out there and not include any generic crap in its place again. It really annoys me that L&DI ¾ time, CILCIA and OPH all have the generic moni...

You’re right about all of the meisinger. Its too bad the music industry operates like that, but what can ya do. But what bugs me is MCA was able to reissue other artests’s CDs like Steely Dan. If they can invest in them why not Jimmy? To be honest, I kind of like them that way. You prefer MCA’s gene...

I really hate bashing them, but come on! They ignored so much artwork and liner notes it’s not even funny! People who spend loads of time working their tails off for the albums go uncredited! Put your self in the place of an art director. You worked countless hours to get a really nice design done f...

AMC, does your Coconut Telegraph have anymore art than the front and back? If not, you have a reissue. There was a lot of art eliminated by cheap MCA for that reissue. The cobo.org discography has all the info on the different vynil and CD issues. http://www.cobo.org/knowledge/A1Aarchives/albums/ct....

Beatles
John Lennon
George Harrison
Elton John
Bruce Springsteen
U2
James Taylor
Steely Dan

To name a few.

Remember that MCA’s cutting down on the packaging did not start with the CDCP CDs. When they bought ABC/Dunhill in 1979, they went back and reissued Jimmy’s ABC albums. That’s to be expected, as they have to change the brand name and logo on the packaging. But the fact that they eliminated the gatef...

Just listened to A-1-A today. Yep, it’s a gem.

What he says about people who retire in Florida cracks me up every time.

Cap’n, it appears that you have the MCA reissue of SOASOAS. After MCA bought ABC/Dunhill in 1979, they went back and reissued all Jimmy’s previous albums and eliminated the inner art and anything that was on the dust covers, leaving just the front and back covers. Unfortunately, you have the MCA rei...

I got a little crazy tonight and scanned a lot of my Buffett records and redid my Album Artwork page on my website . Now there are several back covers from the old stuff and some Inner shots too. If you haven't seen some of the old covers, they are worth taking a look. Also if anyone has any of the...

Thanks to your scan Air M'Ville Cap'n, my CD now has a better back cover. While it may not be the complete back cover and the print is hard to read, its better than it was.

And the back cover for the CD:



I think I prefer the LP back.

The flat scan is a good idea. I might just print it out on a blank tray liner.

Yeah, I know the current CD issues are selling. Its because they are the only CD issues out there! No one is going to boycott just because of the missing art. That would mean doing without the music.

Thanks Air M'Ville Cap'n! What an awsome pic! Love the logo also!

No thanks MCA for not including it with the CD!

Is that Jane?

Maybe someone should start a petition. Maybe not, as those don’t really do anything. What can we do?

Does anyone know where I can see the original back cover to Last Mango in Paris? I’ve done many searches and looked at all the sales on eBay and no body is showing it.

It’s the only back cover I have yet to see (unless Off To See the Lizard has a different back cover than the CD).
