SynopsisRecord 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., Vinyl's back in style and in this selection of 1,000 of the most iconic record sleeves from the 60s to 90s, we recall why it's the biggest and best music format ever. Seminal artwork, memorable cover-sleeves, and long-lost classics all jostle for space in this virtual shelf of music history.
