A stunningly designed review and celeation of the greatest album cover designs from the 50s to the 70s. Roger Deanas innovative volume was first published in 1977.
The original. and still the best. it sold over 250.000 copies in its first year and heralded six further volumes and a host of imitations. This new edition retains the lavish 12a format to show off the covers in all their life-size glory. and maintains the superbly themed pictorial compositions of each double-page spread. Edited and compiled by Roger with Storm Thorgerson (one half of the Hipgnosis design team celeated for its album cover work with Pink Floyd). the Album Cover Album features over 600 sleeves in full colour.
