1000 Record Covers

Product Information

Cada portada está acompañada de una breve reseña que proporciona información sobre el álbum, la banda y el artista. To feed his habit, Ochs headed the publicity departments of Columbia, Shelter, and ABC Records in the 60s and 70s. This gives the advantage of enabling one to see correspondences, similarities, visual echoes between individual designs that can be fruitfully mined for their contemporary social and psychological significance. Un recorrido más o menos cronológico que busca puntos en común por portadas seleccionadas dentro de la colección de Michael Ochs, que se intuye algo aleatoria y muy del gusto norteamericano.

To feed his habit, Ochs headed the puplicity departments of Columbia, Shelter, and ABC Records in the 60s and 70s.

This special edition of Record Covers presents a selection of the best 60s to 90s rock album covers from music archivist, disc jockey, journalist, and ex-record publicity executive Michael Ochs's enormous private collection.Record Covers es un libro de 1996 escrito por Michael Ochs, un archivista musical, disc jockey, periodista y ex ejecutivo de Atlantic Records. Sometimes artists themselves got involved in creating them (hurray for Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell or John Lennon; bad, bad choice for Fish, although I love Marillion), other times famous photographers got to work on them - Annie Leibovitz or Storm Thorgerson, and let's not forget the famous cover Andy Warhol created for The Velvet Underground.

Las portadas están bien seleccionadas y representan una amplia gama de estilos musicales, desde el rock and roll de los años 60 hasta el grunge de los años 90.

A Christmas gift from my wife, this is an excellent book for anyone who loves music throughout the decades. Not as a coffee table book, not as a collection of hipster music cred, not even as an art project would I recommend this.
