Just as the title suggests, this book is full of 1,000 record covers. Full color and in all their glory. Page after page of beautiful, quirky, innovative and just about any other adjective you can think of, album covers. Some will bring back memories, some will make you want to search the record stores so that you can own the album again or for the first time. I keep this book handy and find myself thumbing through it all the time. Its also a great conversation starter when it sits on the coffee table. My only complaint is that it isnt full record size! That would have sent this review into 7 stars!
A facinating look at the art of album covers. personally i like blondies-parellel lines, its just funny. but there are a lot of great album covers in this book and i highly recommened it to any artsy person who is into music.
I dont know if there was a full size "coffee table edition of 1000 Record Covers produced. This is an undersized book but the reproduction of the album covers will bring back the excitement and creativity of each of the eras - 1950s, 60s,70s, 80s and 1990s. The commentary is left to a minimum, without more than a few words of interest just every so often. I guess I want my cake and to eat it too. The small size is easy to read in bed or while relaxing. But a full size (12" X 12") edition would be marvelous. I spend a lot of hours looking through this intriqueing book. John row
