GREATEST HITS OF ALL-TIME
ARCHIE'S CHRISTMAS ALBUM

"How to turn The Archies into
Rock 'n' Roll superstars?"

That was the question DC Hampton Jacobs pondered as he prepared to build a Pop Art extravaganza around beloved comic book characters. Sure, the studio group pulled a massive Number One hit with "Sugar, Sugar" back in the day, and they had a few more best-sellers, too; but hit singles do not make a supergroup! Smash hit albums and SRO concerts are what confer that coveted status. So, for his cartoon epic "Say Goodbye To Riverdale", the Pop Culture Cantina's blogmaster created several blockbuster world tours and a small truckload of Platinum vinyl.

On this second page of Archie's Album Cover Gallery, you'll find a trio of double-length collections that propelled the adult Archies to unprecedented heights of Pop stardom. You'll also find the live-in-concert album and the tribute to a mentor that faltered on the charts, and the trio of subsequent releases that jump-started the band's slow but steady climb back to the top. Every one of these imaginary albums was an instant classic; as iconic for Stuffed Animal's graffiti-influenced, in-your-face sleeve artwork as for the great music they contain.
