  • A reminder of why albums are better than downloads.

    A great reminder of why albums are better than downloads. Album artwork and sleeve notes were, and still are, an intrinsic part of the music experience. Interpretation, beauty, imagination and images now rated as iconic artworks in themselves, album covers reflect a time, a mood, and your place in your musical journey. This book is informative, entertaining, and a worthy tribute to the backroom boys who produced some of the finest graphics in history. recommend.
