Straight from the tastemakers behind the ever necessary magazine Wax Poetics, comes this fantastic book dedicated to album cover art. The top contributors behind Wax Poetics picked out 20 of their favourite albums to tell a personal story of the music and accompanying art that impacted them the most. Cover art was once an essential and important part of the package in music, which is now being moved aside due to the digital age and the MP3 take over. This book, perfect for any coffee table, celebrates this dying art and focuses on the weird and wonderful art that told just as important a story as the music that lay within.
Focusing on (but not confining itself to) jazz, funk, hip hop, reggae, afro, and rock, this book is a great reminder of the visual representation behind music, while giving you some great tips on some forgotten classics.
