Books Descriptions
Not just a look at the art of record cover design ? ? 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 ?60s to ?90s rock album covers 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.
