Title: The Album Cover Album
Description: London, Guild Publishing (1977) 1985 160pp, many colour illustrations. 31x31, black cloth, illustrated dw Good in similar dw. Famous survey of musical artwork, much dominated by the 1970s and the height of prog. Perhaps the best illustration of how thing have moved on since it was published is the use of the well-known Blind Faith album cover as the frontispiece: described here as a 'distillation of the mystic symbolism of the psychedlic era', now its uncomfortable sexualisation of a child is used mostly in lists of 'most shocking' album sleeves.
