I’ve always heard that “they” tried to recall the “Street Survivors” albums and then re-released them without the flames in the background. That was one album I never got. A friend of mine at the time managed to get one of the albums with cover with the flames because she worked at The Record Bar. Wow, that took me too far back. I was just wondering if anybody else had heard the same thing? Reese

Hey Reese, The album cover is classic and yes it was removed from the shelves shortly after the crash happened in October of ‘77. I had a buddy who found one of the originals at a local grocery store called Dutch Boy around 1982. That was the first time I had ever seen the original cover or even knew that there had been a switch. A little eerie but a cool find if you can track one down. I have seen the Street Survivors CD with the original cover art (as a special edition release), but i don’t own it myself. Frank.

I actually have the orginal album cover. I worked in Sam Goody’s in 1977 so I had immediate access. I grew up in Atl and went to the “One More From The Road” concert at the Fox. I purchased the orginal album the day it came out and was also there when we got the order to pull the album. It was replaced immediately with the version that did not include the flames.

My album is in decent shape but it is now 30 years old!

FUCK you Bill, “How much is it worth”:??. How Mother Fucking dare you insult the memory of our beloved Skynyrd band. ??
You scumbag money grubbing piece of shit.

All of you, how dare you.. claim to be Skynyrd fans, and even bring up the topic of “How much is it worth.”. How’s this sound as a comparison you SCUMBAG.
On Thursday, October 20, 1977, just three days after the release of Street Survivors, our BELOVED band was enroute to a concert at LSU in Baton Rouge, Louisiana when their plane crashed…… We true Skynyrd fans don’t dare think, or speak of the rest, but sadley through our tears of 30 years know the rest….. How’s that for a comparison to the “WORTH”. You are indeed a SCUMBAG and not worthy of hearing any….Skynyrd tunes.

31 years this week…wow..I still miss them. You are right, how could anyone care what the album cover is worth? Send it to me and I will cherish it.

My dad has a copy of the original album, before the recall, and it was damaged in a flood twenty years ago. Even though the cover is damaged i still love this album for the simple fact that most people have never seen an original in person.

12. Dewman - November 25, 2008

19. fuckyou - June 10, 2009

you obviously have no time on your hands you unappreciative bastard.
You also have no real recollition of what good music is.

Sitting on your fat ass hating on people who like a band.

Grow the fuck up you rascist cocksucker.

I also have this sought after album and album cover. It is for sell! No reason to get so upset about the band and its message, its all in what you believe. I didn’t even understand what the hell they were singing about when I was listening to them. I was very young in the 70’s. Just liked some of the songs. If anyone is interested in the buying it let me know.
