Megalithic Album Cover Collection

Some of the best and most talented of the contemporary musicians have been fascinated by the mystery and the wild beauty of megalithic monuments. Many beautiful songs and ballads have been inspired by stone circles and standing stones. Recently, these ancient sites have been portrayed on a handful of album covers. Here we present the first selection of these "megalithic" covers. Many of them are taken from our own CD collection. If you spot an album cover which isn't listed here, please send us a message! Scans of covers (130x130 pixels, 72 dpi, JPEG) are also appreciated. As usual, if you would like to buy some of these CDs, you can click on the title you are interested on, and (if it is available) you will be transported to Amazon Web page relative to that CD, where you may find reviews, the actual price (in most cases at 10-40% off list price) and the possibility to buy it on-line through a secure server.
