1000 Record Covers (Bibliotheca Universalis)
£15.60£19.00 (-18%)
Record covers are a sign of our life and times. Like the music on the discs, they address such issues as love, life, death, fashion, and rebellion. For music fans the covers are the expression of a period, of a particular time in their lives. Many are works of art and have become as famous as the music they stand for―Andy Warhol’s covers, for example, including the banana he designed for The Velvet Underground. This edition of Record Covers presents a selection of the best rock album covers of the 60s to 90s from music archivist, disc jockey, journalist, and former record-publicity executive Michael Ochs’s enormous private collection. Both a trip down memory lane and a study in the evolution of cover art, this is a sweeping look at an underappreciated art form.

My father-in-law is very difficult to buy for but one thing he loves is records. He heads straight for any record shops in any town he visits and can spend several hours in some of the larger ones. He really seemed to love this book so I’d say anybody that appreciates records and their artwork will love it.
