1000 Record Covers

Product Information

He told me a story about how he kept all his records in his basement, and one time it began to flood. The original cover was changed soon after release and a white couple was put on the cover to get the record carried in the South. Would make a great gift, too, for people who didn't live through the era in which the LP cover was a deliberate art form unto itself.

I do wish there could've been included some more covers, but I guess they have to stick to that number - and the book *is* pretty thick already. Not necessarily an essential purchase, but if you like album covers - and you might find some really great ones to stare at - this is a great enough book. Although each section here is divided by decade – Ochs makes some attempt to group album covers together based on similar image or artwork (often very tenuous) with varying degrees of success and to what purpose is unclear?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. I wish I could share my preferences, but too many links are involved and making choices is pretty difficult anyway.

The footprint is smaller than A4 but it made it easier for me to hold and so I'm more than happy with the format. Un recorrido más o menos cronológico que busca puntos en común por portadas seleccionadas dentro de la colección de Michael Ochs, que se intuye algo aleatoria y muy del gusto norteamericano.The contents range from the 1960s to the 1990s and it would make a good gift for the older music lover in your life! They are roughly grouped by the decade (1960s, 1970s, and 1980s-early1990s: all getting a short introduction), some appearing in other decade than their own. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average.

This special edition of Record Covers presents a selection of the best 60s to 90s rock album covers from music archivist, disc jockey, journalist, and ex-record publicity executive Michael Ochs's enormous private collection. By using the Web site, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agreed to be bound by the Terms and Conditions.The form - a basic 12" x 12" framework - lent itself to as much detail as the artist cared to put in or to leave out, to instant impact, to portability, to duplication or triplication via the gatefold format, and presented itself as an artefact as solid as the record it contained.
