Classic Rock Covers by Michael Ochs
A selection of the best 50s to 90s rock album covers from music archivist, disc jockey, journalist, and ex-record publicity executive Michael Ochs's enormous private collection. Both a trip down memory lane and a study in the evolution of cover art, this is a sweeping look at an under-appreciated art form.In the early 1950s, Michael Ochs acquired a rock & roll addiction. In the 1960s and 1970s, Ochs worked in the PR offices of Columbia, Shelter, and ABC Records to support his habit. He's also worked as a disc jockey, taught a rock history course at UCLA, and written for Rock, Melody Maker, Cashbox, and Crawdaddy, among other publications. In the mid-1970s, Michael Ochs founded the Michael Ochs Archives. Currently, the archives house millions of pictures as well as over 100,000 albums and singles.
