George Strait Trivia 3 : Albums Cover


- Those rampage CD sleeves and more -




#1 If you are George Strait die-hard, then you should notice this 'George Strait' logo (-above-)that used to be printed in each album cover. Exactly on how many albums were this logo on, and when did it exactly start or end ?

Answer :
Eight times. On six official studio albums and two greatest hits packages. It started from 1984's Does Forth Worth Ever Cross Your Mind and ended in 1989's Beyond The Blue Neon.
His earlier albums don't bare that logo as well as albums beginning 1990 and later. To give album's theme more flexible on graphics and design probably the main reason of abandoning the logo. (-picture below-)



#2 Most of George's albums cover are 'face oriented' except for few ones.
On that 'non - face oriented' covers, what background does it show and on which album?


Answer :
(1) Ranch warehouse with lasso - 1986's "#7" album cover



(2) Desert/prairie - 1987's "Ocean Front Property" album cover



(3) Billiard pools barroom and neon light - 1989's "Beyond The Blue Neon" album cover



(4) Grass & terrier - 1993's "Easy Come Easy Go" album cover

(7) Big-big window and dark sky - 2001's "The Road Less Traveled" album cover


(8) Honky tonk - 2003's "Honkytonkville" album cover



#3 There are also albums that show George pictured with his guitar. Can you spot them?
