Summary

A compendium of 300 album covers from late 1970s to the mid-80s. It shows how the New Wave movement was defined as much by style, fashion and graphic design as the music itself witness the ruffled cuffs and heavy make-up of the New Romantics, the skinny ties and porkpie hats of the Mods, and the unsettling robotic personae of Gary Numan and Devo.
