Classic album covers recreated using Pantone color swatches

One of the sucky things about downloaded music is that you don't get the big and bold cover art you would get with vinyl record covers. Even those little CD booklets are pretty lame compared to a full square foot of beautiful LP cover art.

Artist David Marsh celebrates classic album art with these recreations he made using Pantone color swatches. The effect is kind of like a really pixelated low-bit digital picture, but it's still pretty easy to make out each cover if you're familiar with them. Hint: The little thumbnails are often easier to make out than if you expand the picture to full size.

How many of the albums can you name?
