Album art is indelibly linked to our collective musical memories; when you think of your favorite albums, you picture the covers. Many photographers, illustrators, and art directors have become celebrities from their album artworksthe best examples of which will go down in history as permanent fixtures in popular culture. Paying tribute to this art form, Rock Covers brings you a compilation of more than 750 remarkable album covers, from legendary to rare record releases. Artists as varied as Elvis Presley, The Beatles, The Sex Pistols, Pink Floyd, The Cure, Iron Maiden, and Sonic Youth are gathered together in celebration of the cover art that defined their albums and their cult status. Each cover is accompanied by a fact sheet listing the art director, photographer or illustrator, year, label, and more, while nearly 250 records that marked particular turning points for a band, an artist, or the music genre, are highlighted with short descriptions. This far-reaching catalog of visualized rock is contextualized with insider interviews with five professionals who shaped the history of rock, and by top-10 record lists from ten leading rock collectors.

Recensioner i media

The material is wonderful. The subject merits so thorough and authoritative an account and caption details are good. * The Spectator * A lovingly and illuminatingly annotated journey. * Metal Hammer * The ultimate rocknroll art book. * instyle.co.uk * as is the case with any TASCHEN book, you can rest assured it will look as good on display as it will when youre flipping through the pages and listening to some Pink Floyd. * coolmaterial.com * A full anthology of familiar and wonderfully obscure rock albums. * Nylon Magazine * For hardcore record collectors or appreciators of physical media, its a great tribute to an art form that we hope remains relevant for a long time. * uncrate.com *
