Loving these, Amy. I have quite a few books on record sleeve design but these are all new to me. It’s one of the things I miss most about vinyl—lots of space for great artwork on the covers!
Thanks Mark for the comment! And ditto, I miss that larger real estate too. Look forward to framing some of these. Have been fortunate to acquire some good music out of the deal too. :~)
LOVE the Album Covers…..make sure you have a look at the latest PINK MARTINI – Album cover – its straight out of the 50s
Thank you so much for blogging these, they’ve helped me out greatly on an essay piece I’m working on about modernist design and its influence on album art and gig promotion :)
Hi Will, my pleasure. Glad these are of use to you for your essay, this is excellent news. Er from the growing numbers in my LP collection I definitely have a serious soft spot for modernist album art. Thanks for taking time to leave a note, cheers!
Love all the covers…naturally I have a bias for Ernest Socolov’s! (and Neil Fujita, who was an associate of my father). That being said…I do think they’re all great!
Hello, Hello David! What a treat, thank you so much for your comment. I am eager to learn more about your father… will be emailing you soon this week.
