Artist on the Cover of Record World

This info was taken mostly from various issues on sale at E-bay at one time or another. Prior to circa 1973 RW did not feature artist on the cover. Instead their were record picks & industry tidbits. I do not own any of these issues. The purpose of this section is to record what issues are still floating around out there.
