SynopsisSexy, provocative, playful, beautiful: from their earliest days, LP covers have been objects of art and fascination. This celebration of album artistry presents more than 350 of the best covers, and departs from the usual approach by organizing the images by visual theme. Many of us remember the iconic album-cover images that defined our collective and individual histories--such as the smoldering pinup girl on the Cars' Candy-O , the plaintive baby following a dollar bill through water on Nirvana's Nevermind , and Andy Warhol's controversial zippered pants on the Rolling Stones' Sticky Fingers . From perennial classics to lesser-known gems, here is the LP art that shook, rattled, and rolled us through music's early formative years. The thematic chapters include: Art: Ornette Coleman, Empty Foxhole ; The Sex Pistols, Never Mind the Bollocks ; Santana, Abraxas Death: Otis Redding, History of Otis Redding ; Frank Zappa, Hot Rats ; Ice Cube, Kill At Will ; Metallica, Master of Puppets Drugs: The Beatles, Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band ; The Monkees, Head ; Thelonious Monk, Underground ; Peter Tosh, Bush Doctor Ego: Frank Sinatra, No One Cares ; Astrud Gilberto, Nothing Better To Do ; Joni Mitchell, Clouds ; LL Cool J, Mama Said Knock You Out ; Bjork, Debut Escape: Johnny Cash, Orange Blossom Special ; Bob Dylan, Freewheelin' ; Peter Gabriel, 1 (car ) Identity: The Jackson 5, ABC ; Pink Floyd, Dark Side of the Moon ; Blondie, Parallel Lines Politics: Funkadelic, America Eats Its Young ; Bruce Springsteen, Born in the USA Rock & Roll: Jerry Lee Lewis, Jerry Lee Lewis and His Pumping Piano ; Clash, London Calling Sex: The Ohio Players, Honey ; Robert Palmer, Double Fun ; Pulp, This Is Hardcore Real World: The Allman Brothers, Brothers & Sisters ; Bob Marley, Catch A Fire ; Lucinda Williams, Car Wheels on a Gravel Road, Sexy, provocative, playful, beautiful: from their earliest days, LP covers have been objects of art and fascination.

Very Good Book on Album Cover Art
I already have several album cover books, I find them all pretty fascinating,and this one is especially well photographed, edited, and has very interesting commentaries. If you're a fan of rock and roll music in general, this would be a good bet, lots of entertainment, stories of how they came upon the inspiration for the artwork, and of course some of the struggles with censorship or just record company red tape which caused some bands to have to settle for a second choice from their desired artwork . And of course the memories rekindled that go along with these images from a bygone era that define artists, musicians, and everyday through the decades. Nice oversize format and easy to read fonts.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Get this one before you get any others!
I ordered 9 different Record Cover books since I have collected many albums over the years and I was interested in how the covers came to be. I know it sounds crazy but each book of record covers seemed to have different categories. Anyhow I found this book to be the most informative about the covers. It is also a larger book around 9x11 inches, and is pretty hefty in weight. It is a hardback and has beautiful printing. Out of all 9 books I bought this is my favorite one, you won't be disappointed!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
