The Greatest Barbershop Album COVERS Of All Time
For the sake of history and bragging rights a poll was taken among a wide cross section of close harmony fanatics to
nominate and judge the best of the best.  These covers were chosen based on the artwork alone.
The songs & quality of the music on these Albums and CDs were NOT considered although it was hard to
separate emotional ties to the groups, songs and fond memories on each.  Here's the list of those considered.

The Final Results Appear Below.
