Cover Art Contest
Update #2: I do have to wonder what will happen when Google caches THIS copy of the post. Can the two co-exist without tearing asunder the very fabric of the below-referenced universe? Stay tuned...
Update (4/25): Thank goodness for Google's cache, into which a copy of this post was written mere hours after it was published, thereby allowing me to resurrect it after I inadvertently overwrote it with a new post. The order of the universe has been restored.
Oh, and Bob (guessed the artist name) and Rachel (guessed the song title) are still the joint winners of the contest.
Here's a softball of a contest. Identify the group and Side A of the 45 associated with this jacket:

I have to make a quick trip out of town and may not be able to monitor your responses, but I'll be back later this evening and we can settle up then.
I'm with Gwynne ... Yardbirds ... Eight Miles High?
Posted by: Jimmy at April 24, 2007 12:59 PMOK, I wanna alter my answer and say The Byrds, Eight Miles High. But I'm wrong I think.
Posted by: Jimmy at April 24, 2007 01:08 PMYardbirds. For Your Love.
Posted by: Dennis at April 24, 2007 01:55 PMYou guys are good. I'm pretty sure it's the Yardbirds, but my original guess was the Flying Burrito Brothers.
Mostly because I just like typing "Flying Burrito Brothers."
Posted by: Bret at April 24, 2007 02:18 PMOK, I'm now 120 miles from where this post was originally crafted ("crafted" being a relative term, as in "the caveman crafted a stick"), and even from this distance I can see that you're not close to being correct.
But I also like typing Flying Burrito Brothers.

Posted by: Dennis at April 24, 2007 03:54 PMDennis, the group is right!
The song? Not so right...
Posted by: Eric at April 24, 2007 03:56 PMHey...how 'bout album covers from a decade when I was, you know, born?
Posted by: beth at April 24, 2007 04:18 PMOut on a limb, but is it Bits & Pieces?
Posted by: Dennis at April 24, 2007 04:23 PMDennis, you're quickly losing cred, bro. ;-)
Beth, you silly. You know they had stopped making 45s by then.
Posted by: Eric at April 24, 2007 04:24 PMAnd another thing, Beth. Name me one song from your decade that's worth remembering.
[duck and cover...]
Posted by: Eric at April 24, 2007 04:28 PMI thought you put a .45 in a *holster*, not a jacket.
I mean, you could probably put one in a jacket, but I understand they're heavy and tend to make the jacket lay uneven about the shoulders.
Posted by: Brian at April 24, 2007 05:10 PMBrian, that's a pretty funny observation, but it doesn't hide the fact that you don't seem to know the answer to the quiz. ;-)
Posted by: Eric at April 24, 2007 05:16 PMThe answer is so obviously "You got what it takes". You guys! hehe.
Posted by: Rach at April 24, 2007 06:02 PMThe Dave Clark Five is no softball! What do you say we start over? Go get yourself another sandwich. ;-)
Posted by: Gwynne at April 24, 2007 06:20 PMThat's a tad old for me too - and I owned many a 45s! I remember going to what we used to call a "record store" and buying those funky black plastic things with the odd grooves.
Posted by: Rob O. at April 24, 2007 07:25 PMThem's the Moody Blues.
Don't know the album though.
Posted by: Jim at April 24, 2007 07:39 PMEh, nevermind. The Moody Blues weren't on Epic. I think it was Polydor.. but the guy on the right is the spitting image of whatshisname.
I'm clueless. Softball my eye!
Posted by: Jim at April 24, 2007 07:51 PMRachel's right...and though I'm tempted to point out that she's too young and too Kiwi-ish to know such things, I won't. ;-)
Posted by: Eric at April 24, 2007 09:27 PMThe Beatles....."Rubber Soul".....
Posted by: Wallace at April 25, 2007 12:02 AMLet's just say that my friend google came in handy hehe. 'nuf said!
Posted by: Rach at April 25, 2007 02:20 AMWe can now officially close the contest, now that Wallace has weighed in.
*gasp* Rachel, I can't believe you Googled the answer. I'm sure no one else thought of that! ;-)
Posted by: Eric at April 25, 2007 08:52 AMSee, those Kiwi's with their ingenuity. :)
I'll get back to you on that whole "Song from my decade worth remembering" issue...don't wait up though, K?
Posted by: beth at April 25, 2007 03:48 PMWhat exactly happened to the album cover art and the post to which these comments relate? Or is this just all part of the "change?"
Posted by: Gwynne at April 25, 2007 04:05 PMWell, &ID*&!! (Pardon my ASCII.)
I apparently typed over the cover art post instead of creating a new one.
Oh, did I forget to mention that another part of The Change is new and improved Incompetence© integrated into each and every post?
[I'm actually not sure there's anyway to recover the old post, by the way, unless Google has already cached it.]
Posted by: Eric at April 25, 2007 04:10 PMCan someone tell me what Gwynne is talking about?
Posted by: Jim at April 25, 2007 06:47 PMOh, now I understand. I thought Gwynne was cooking with wine again.
Posted by: Jim at April 25, 2007 06:55 PMI heard that, Jim. ;-)
Posted by: Gwynne at April 26, 2007 10:38 AM
The Yardbirds.
