Vintage Record Covers
This edition of Record Covers presents a selection of the best rock album covers of the 1960s to the 1990s from music archivist, disc jockey, journalist, and former record-publicity executive Michael Ochs's enormous private collection. Record covers are a sign of our life and times, addressing such issues as love, life, death, fashion, and rebellion. Like the music on the discs, they serve as the expression of a particular period and a specific time in people's 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.
Vinyl's back in style, and in this selection of 1000 of the most iconic record sleeves from the 1960s to the 1990s, we recall why it's the biggest and best music format ever. Iconic artwork, memorable cover-sleeves, and long-lost classics all jostle for space in this virtual shelf of music history. 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.
From the Publisher Jacket, Madness — Album art from the 1960s to the 90s, the book offers a comprehensive exploration of the visual representations that have accompanied musical masterpieces throughout the decades. The covers featured in this volume have become as integral to the cultural significance of the albums as the music itself, serving as visual markers of the zeitgeist and the creative spirit of their respective eras.
The compilation showcases the versatility and ingenuity of album artwork, from the bold, psychedelic designs of the 1960s to the minimalist, conceptual covers of the 1990s. Each record sleeve tells a story, reflecting the musical genre, the artistic vision of the musicians, and the sociopolitical landscape of the time. By tracing the evolution of this art form, the book provides a unique lens through which to appreciate the rich tapestry of popular music history.
Whether you're a dedicated vinyl enthusiast or a casual music lover, this collection of iconic album covers is a must-have for anyone who appreciates the intersection of music and visual culture. It's a testament to the enduring power of the album cover as a medium of artistic expression and cultural significance.
