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.

Review

“Vinyl revival? This book single-handedly champions the cause.” ― Inpress

About the Author

Michael Ochs developed an addiction to rock and roll in the early 50s. To feed his habit, Ochs headed the publicity departments of Columbia, Shelter, and ABC Records in the 60s and 70s. He has also been a disc jockey, taught a rock-history course for UCLA and written for such magazines as Rock, Melody Maker, Cashbox, and Crawdaddy. He established the Michael Ochs Archives in the mid-70s. The archives currently house millions of photographs and over 100,000 albums and singles.

Jacket Madness — Album art from the 1960s to the 90s

Vinyl’s back in style and in this selection of 1000 of the most iconic record sleeves from the 60s to 90s, we recall why it’s the biggest and best music format ever. Iconic artwork, memorable cover-sleeves, and long-lost classics all jostle for space in this virtual shelf of music history.

Son in law loved it

Reviewed in the United States on January 5, 2024

He plays guitar in a band and he is kind of a music snob, knowing all the bands and who plays what, so I figured to get him something he could read to get more information. He really was impressed.

I thought this would be a larger book than what it was. That is my fault for not seeing that. Just want to warn others to read lol.

Much more tinier than expected. For the money, it’s worth having a little reference guide! Interesting to say the least!

Nice gift. The book is small, not a coffee table book

Reviewed in the United States on September 20, 2023

Got this as a gift. It is a really nice book. Just be prepared that it's pretty small in size, smaller than most typical books, so that was a bit of a surprise but still a nice gift.

Kid LOVED it!!

My kid, who is an album & music lover, was thrilled! While not your typical sized coffee table book, it was of nice size. Photos were great quality and the “notes” were fun and interesting to read. A win for me!!
