I remember staring at my dad's copy of Cheap Thrills for hours when I was a kid. Sure, much of that was obsession over the depiction of nipples in the I Need A Man to Love panel. But also because it was the first example of R. Crumb's artwork I had ever seen and it was just so visually stimulating.

Pretty sure the Crumb art work for that LP was supposed to be the back cover initially.
