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.

Cool gift
Purchased a Christmas gift. Book came with a plastic sleeve so I couldn’t have a flick through before wrapping it. I was there when the gift was received and had a good look through. Really good sized book, with nice quality print & paper. The album cover images are really good quality. Great gift for a music lover. Good coffee table book. Gift was well received. I would recommend.

Güzel kitap kötü paketleme
Kitap güzel,küçük boyutta.Ama kagıt paketin icinde geldi o yüzden 3 yıldız verdim.2 kitap aldım digeri Jazz Covers süper kitap ama kagıt paket yüzünden hafif ezilmeler var.Biraz dikkat edilse iyi olurdu.
