Millions buy albums and cds, and millions adore their albums not just for the music, but also for the sleeve artwork which becomes by association the visual representation of everything the album represents for the listener. Album is unique - the first visual history of this phenomenon and of the designers, art directors, recording artists, and record companies associated with the greatest music graphics of all time. Structured chronologically, the book focuses on individuals, music scenes, and subcultures, including: Punk, Surfers, Psychedelia in London, Tamla Motown, Disco Divas, and DJ Culture.
