About this product:
  • 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.

I own this book and have bought several as gifts over the years. It's well made and has a tassel connected to the spine for saving your place.

At this price point it's a no-brainer for a music lover. Has albums from the 60s through the mid-90s. Also has an index.
The book is simply reprints of the covers, with only attribution supplied as information for most of those album covers. It would be far more interesting if the authors supplied additional information about meaning and context of the art. Just answering the question "What made this cover worthy of being in this book?" would make for a far more valuable "tome" (the book is actually tiny--like 6 inches x 8 inches). I would rather just go through my record collection and look at the real albums.

I'd snap it up in a heartbeat if it weren't so tiny. 5 1/2"x7 1/2" isn't much larger than a postcard.

Should I be concerned that Amazon says "German edition"?

my wife bought this for me as a gift a few years ago. Your thoughts were what I was thinking when I started looking at it.

It is cool, but "why" would certainly be more compelling.

I've had this book for about 10 years or so, I paid $20 for it and it was worth that. It is a great quality book and would make a great gift. I keep it next to my vinyl collection and people often pick it up and come through it.

Even though it says 5 x 7 and that seems small, I'm not sure this would fit in a stocking and if it did it would take up a lot of rain. It's rather thick.

I hope they're combing or you may need a replacement copy
