Total Records: Photography and the Art of the Album Cover Reviews
-
How can you dig an super exciting book that makes you want to listen to good music and watch cover art? Highly recommended.
-
Bella realizzazione editoriale, totalmente centrata su visivo, trattandosi di una nutrita selezione fotografica di cover 'artistiche' di dischi più o meno rappresentativi, qui rappresentate appunto soprattutto per l'aspetto grafico/visivo. Ottimo rapporto q/p, un'ottima idea regalo per appassionati di musica, ma anche di fotografia.
-
As described. Great book!

Très bien
-
Delightful survey of photographic LP album art, organized by themes, notable photographers, and design studios (like Hipgnosis). If you love music and photography, you'll love this book.
