Worst Album Cover? FAREWELL

[JohnnyB]

I’m really enjoying these comments; I cannot recall much discussion of Farewell on this site.

This LP is special to me as it was the ONLY Ross album my parents owned when I became a fan in 1975. The Stop! medley and live performances were my first introduction to the hits, and at nine years old I thought Let The sunshine In was incredible to listen to while leafing through the booklet. The speeches added to my excitement. There was nothing similar to this in my parents’ record collection, so I thought it was magnificent!

My dad, on the other hand, had no real interest in the album. He laughed when he explained to me it was offered at a discounted price when purchasing a bucket of chicken at KFC! He bought it believing it would someday become a collector’s item, and wouldn’t even give to me until several years later…

What a great story!
