Record covers are a sign of our life and times. Like the music on the discs, they address issues such as love, life, death, fashion and rebellion. For music fans, the covers are the expression of a period, of a particular time in their lives. Many are works of art and have become as famous as the music they stand for. This book presents a selection of the best rock album covers of the '60s to '90s from music archivist, disc jockey, journalist and former record-publicity executive Michael Ochs' enormous private collection. Both a trip down memory lane and a study in the evolution of cover art, this is a sweeping look at an underappreciated art form.
