Was hoping for a little more info with the album covers. Makes a great coffee table book though.

fram taschen, in english, german and french. in 3 sections more or less by theme of art, 60's 70' 80-90's, has index. has one or two covers per page.
fun. though one wonders about micheal ochs sanity.

Where is the EP

We’ll that was underwhelming and self-indulgent. What was the point? The text at the start of each each decade was really quite dull and bore little or no relation to the album covers that followed. The grouping of the covers was also a bit random and on occasion the decades were mixed. Very disappointing.

A fun romp through yesteryear and the history of music and society as told via the covers of record albums. This superbly curated collection of covers gives the reader an eye-catching trip through the history of the art (and it was an art) of album covers while also giving a brief encapsulation of the world of music through the decades.

A good coffee table book, some great album covers, some not so great. Useful as a conversation strater. There is not much text to read, so just enjoy the pictures

adding my coffee table books here now out of desperation for my gr goal

Impressive collection, although I understand Ochs sold his albums after 'writing' the book. It covers about 3 decades and a half, from the 60's to mid 90's. Musically speaking, I wish I had seen more of my fav artists, but anyway, being a rock and roll addict (Ochs, obviously), most of them are in there.

The covers are as they are: original, unoriginal, kitschy, artsy, stunning etc.; a little bit of everything. Sometimes artists themselves got involved in creating them (hurray for Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell or John Lennon; bad, bad choice for Fish, although I love Marillion), other times famous photographers got to work on them - Annie Leibovitz or Storm Thorgerson, and let's not forget the famous cover Andy Warhol created for The Velvet Underground. I wish I could share my preferences, but too many links are involved and making choices is pretty difficult anyway.

Lots of pictures and not as much writing. I thought the book would be a little bigger. Overall it was very interesting.

Some history here but pretty much just record covers. For someone who was in the music and record business from mid-1960s to mid-1980s it was a waltz down memory lane. Of course I'd probably pick different covers for about half of these! LOL!

Not much text but great collection of photos. Crazy how similar a lot of them are when you see them side-by-side.

It's basically a huge pinterest board in printed format. There are a bunch of iconic covers missing from the book. Would have loved to know a bit more about some of the more famous artworks and their respective designers.
