Classic Album Covers of the 60s Hardcover , 1989 First Edition

Near mint condition and includes dust cover. 224 pages in 4-color oversize format (11.5" by 11").  Overview follows.  See our listings for other LP cover books.

This Classic Album Covers of the 60s table top hardcover book features more than 200 of the very best—and, in some cases, entertainingly worst—covers that graced LPs throughout that groundbreaking decade. It takes readers on a lively journey from the wholesome joviality of the Very Merry Macs and Muscle Beach Party, through stylish and sophisticated jazz covers, to the coolest, wildest psychedelic designs of the late 60s—including the Beatles’ Sgt. Pepper and the Incredible String Band’s The 5000 Spirits.

The evolving styles illustrated here provide a fascinating reflection of changing cultural trends during an era when artists sought to smash the prevailing rules—and, in so doing, laid the foundations for cover design today.
