About this product

Product Information

The hectic cultural and political upheavals occurring in the 1960s marked a divide between the relatively stable cultural environment of the previous decade and what is now regarded as the golden age of pop music and youth culture. The flourishing of alternative cultures in the latter part of the decade laid many of the foundations of later trends and subcultures. And this influence is nowhere more apparent than in record packaging, with classic graphic design and layouts reappearing again and again. 'Classic Album Covers of the 60s' is a collection of over 200 of the very best (and in some cases) worst that designers had to offer throughout the decade. Representative designs from each period are illustrated in full colour, taking the reader on a journey from the wholesome joviality of the 'Very Merry Macs' and 'Muscle Beach Party', through stylish and understated jazz cover designs, to the best psychedelic designs of the late 60s such as the Beatles' Sgt Pepper and the Incredible String Band's The 5000 Spirits . The changing style of album cover design illustrated in 'Classic Album Covers of the 60s' provides a fascinating reflection of changing cultural trends during a decade whose ideas and artistic expressions sought to break the prevailing rules and, so doing, laid the foundations for cover design today.

  • Album Covers

    I bought this book because of who wrote it. If anyone could do the job I thought it must be him. I was disappointed with the selection of covers until I realised I was looking at them from my own (English) perspective. Time and time again and found myself saying 'Yebbut, what about ...?!?' but then stopped to think. My musical education started with Bill Haley and ended with Hendrix, how do you put ALL of that in one book?!? His logical approach gives every era a fair crack of the whip, even if I don't agree with some of his choices. A monumental undertaking done as well as one could expect...

  • Good bit of nostalgia

    Useful resource, though quality of images not what you'd call high definition.
