The art of cover design
Album art from the 1960s to the 90s
Record covers are more than just mundane protective covers; they are always a reflection and expression of their time . Like the music on a record, they too speak to our emotions— love, life, death, fashion, or rebellion . Many people associate a particular cover with a very special situation or mood in their lives. Some have become at least as legendary as the music they represent, such as Andy Warhol 's work for the Stones and Velvet Underground .
TASCHEN's 1000 Record Covers brings together a selection of the best album covers in rock history from the 1960s to the 1990s . Vinyl collector, DJ, and journalist Michael Ochs opens his private collection and invites us on a journey into the world of memories . Along the way, we experience the album cover as a graphic art form in its own right .
