Here we go:  

 

This LP was released in 1977 and the album cover was pulled about 2-3 weeks after its release.   Subsequent covers contained a black background since most members of this band perished in a terrible,  firiery,  plane crash.   Afterwards,  (2) members formed another band called The Rossington-Collins Band.  The lead singer of this band also had (2) brothers involved in southern rock-n'roll whose names were Johnnie and Donnie.  One of the most famous songs recognized by fans is one entitled "Freebird"

OK,  so I made it simple but this can serve as a model for future challenges.

 

 

Such a waste, they were ready to take off in a whole new direction..............STEVE GAINES............What a guitarist, by far the BEST to ever play for Skynyrd............hand's down, what a talented guy...............Street Survivors was their best album, just listen to it, great songs, great playing, the band never sounded better................whatta waste...............Steve,Cassie, and Ronnie...................Rest In Peace Freebirds......................

Correct......those southern rock'n'rollers surely knew how to put on a show (when Ronnie was sober).   Saw them (3) times in the 70's. 

....and now on to part deux!  NOT SO EASY

I liked SS, but that first one pronounced was my fave -- something about looking at the cover in a smoky haze listening to Freebird for the first time and not being able to tell if Alen Collins was a girl.  Also Second Helping was the best collection of songs, and that cover of Call Me the Breeze is amazing even now--

 

 How about this LP gatefold? What album did it come from  -- still gives me the munchies--
