CLASSIC ALBUM COVERS OF THE 70'S

Classic Album Covers Of The 70s is an essential collection of over 200 of the very best album covers produced during that dark decade. From the Grateful Dead, Roxy Music and David Bowie, to Patti Smith, The Ramones and the Sex Pistols, this volume will prove indispensable to all interested in the history of album cover graphics and design, and to those whose memories of the seventies are stirred by the record covers of the time. In the midst of this post-sixties, back-to-reality political and economic climate, the world of record cover design was not unaffected. Yet, through this bleakness, artists and designers produced images of startling intensity and originality. From the price-is-no-object philosophy of the supergroups, to the backstreet cut-and-paste techniques of punk iconographers, album covers continued to entertain, inform, repel and seduce, occasionally all at the same time. This is surly a visual journey ranging from psychedelia-influenced artwork to Punk anti-design - from Pink Floyd to the Sex Pistols. Indispensable reading for the dedicated follower of album cover graphics. Out Of Print. Condition. Very Fine. Book. Good. Dust Cover has edge curling at the bottom and spine.
