Default Fabulous female art covers of Disco records

Hey guys, I hope someone hasn't made a similar thread yet.
In Geneva there is a big vinyl store where I totally accidentally bumped into a bunch of great-looking disco records that were alone worth buying for the cover art.
These were by Melba Moore. I don't think I had even heard a song by her.
I decided not to by the Burn album because it was I think too funky for my taste, and my loot that day was big enough already.



I did however buy A Portrait Of Melba because the back cover art was simply divine.



This is the front cover, I can't find the back and I can't be bothered at this hour to scan the actual thing, however it's a cross between the Diana Ross album glamour picture (the one Dyn has framed, rr) and Mata hari AND the swimming/motorriding costume of Lynda Carter's Wonder Woman.

Well you know what I mean, I mean classy fab glam diva covers :) Let's see them

Well, not really what I meant but they're ok, mostly the first one, although a bit anti-glamour, raggedy ;) Who is she? I never head of her.

Melba Moore and Amii Stewart are really good-looking but the girls on the covers of Sine and Flower are models, so obvioulsy they are hot .

Here is the inside picture of Linda Clifford's «Let me be your woman» (1979).

I Love Melba and I Love both album covers..

It's a pencil sketch and I went from there..Inspired from Ross by Diana of course..

Why doesn't it surprise me Day posted all of Miss Ross' catalogue? lol
However I had forgotten how unbelievably fab the Baby It's Me album art is!

Pierre, I don't know if you're gay, but I wasn't really going for hot females on covers, more of a "glam meet subtle camp that is usually appreaciated more by gays" look ;)

Day, and all, I actually was going to mention in the Faux Pas thread, the Diana/Donna cd collection! I always thought, only someone who has no idea who he's dealing with would do such a cd. First of all, I am all against mixing artists. Everyone is different, and to have them share an album is preposterous. Diana was never a disco artist per se, was more of an overall singer in my opinion, focussing much more on the soul and rnb music, while Donna was initially more disco and even though often soul, I would say another kind of it, maybe it's got to do with the very different voices. Bottom line, I would never buy that cd, but Day did.... ;))

Here it is, the back cover of A Portrait Of Melba, which I just listened to and taped on Minidisc. I think it's a very good album :-)

Oh man....there she is again. This is the epitome of hotness in my book. When I consider the definition of the perfect look, this is what I think of. Makes my legs weak every time I see it.
