This book shows some of the influential, ground-breaking or A Brief History of Album Covers thought- provoking album covers throughout the 50s to early 00s. This book packs in a lot of album covers and keeps each analysis of the art concise but informative. It was fun seeing the covers throughout the years and how they developed. Also, being able to see iconic album covers in the context of its time was fun. He also touches on interesting packaging for LPs which is something I never really considered much. I learnt quite a bit from this book, not just from the album art but from music history in general. May 12, Andy Hickman A Brief History of Album Covers it really liked it. Editing mistake: Two albums must have been omitted just prior to final publication because some of the references are four pages out of sync.

Jan 02, Mark rated it it was ok. Not so much a "brief history" as a scattered collection of album covers across the decades. There isn't a clear sense of how these artwoks made the cut. While I learnt some tidbits about the music artists and perhaps some interesting quotes with no references from them about their intentions for going with a certain image or style, a lot of this information can be garnered from wikipedia today. So what's the value really of this book? There is generally not a lot of information out there about Not so much a "brief history" as a scattered collection of album covers across the decades. There A Brief History of Album Covers generally not a lot of information out there about the graphic artists who worked on album artwork, and it would have been nice to read a well researched book shedding light into this area.

Cover Story: A History Of Album Artwork | uDiscover Music The visual impact of album covers is not to be underestimated: their images are forever imprinted into our memories and associated with the emotions and sensations that the song or album gives to us. For such unique eye-catchers, graphic designers, advertising agencies and even the musicians themselves pour a lot of their creative energy. For many artists, album art decisions are more difficult to make than musical ones. Easy to understand. After all, it is about sales-promoting artwork in a square format, which has nothing to do with composing music. Here are 10 examples of album covers that have made it to legendary status…. The Beatles were not only groundbreaking musically, but also in the design of their covers. Bychoosing an album cover that took album sales into consideration was no longer of interest to the band, they had a feeling that they would sell millions of copies anyway. A picture with a total of 70 personalities was created for Sgt. What resulted was a message of diversityearthly contrasts and common ground. The album from the early days of A Brief History of Album Covers Reed and his bandmates at Velvet Underground was almost entirely produceddesigned and marketed by Warhol. It was to become one of the pioneering milestones of underground music and later independent and punk music. Because of the striking motif, the album is often referred to as the banana albumwhich is by no means derogatory. Some say the album cover is a commentary about the dark side of modern consumer society. The cover of Deep Purple in Rock should not be missing from this list. The album cover shows the portraits of the band members as gigantic stone sculptures. The depiction is based on the Mount National Memoriala monument completed in with monumental portrait heads of the four most symbolic American presidents of the time. The rock legends simply swapped their heads for those of the presidents. This year the album looks back on 50 years of history. The cover itself shows Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel, who stand together quite well. So far so good. Ever tried to look at it this way? A few years later, another design idea by Andy Warhol was a big success. The main motif shows the lower body of actor Joe Dallesandro in tight jeans from the front and back, with his genitals clearly showing. A working zipper was incorporated into the first editionbehind which was a picture of white underpants. The logo should reflect the anti-authoritarian attitude of the Stones with deliberate sexual provocation. At the beginning of the s, the band members of Pink Floyd were annoyed by the fact that their music provided almost exclusively an atmospheric background mood for the drunk. They were in a deadlocked image dead end. Founding member Syd Barrett had to leave the band in because of mental deterioration due to his excessive drug use. A white light beam hits the prism, whereupon the light diffracts into the spectral colours of the rainbow.

  • Book Proposal 3
    Rock and Roll has Tender Moments too... ! Photographs by Chalkie Davies 1973-1988 ! For as long as I can remember people have suggested that I write a book, citing both my exploits in Rock and Roll from 1973-1988 and my story telling abilities. After all, with my position as staff photographer on the NME and later The Face and Arena, I collected pop stars like others collected stamps, I was not happy until I had photographed everyone who interested me. However, given that the access I had to my friends and clients was often unlimited and 24/7 I did not feel it was fair to them that I should write it all down. I refused all offers. Then in 2010 I was approached by the National Museum of Wales, they wanted to put on a retrospective of my work, this gave me a special opportunity. In 1988 I gave up Rock and Roll, I no longer enjoyed the music and, quite simply, too many of my friends had died, I feared I might be next. So I put all of my negatives into storage at a friends Studio and decided that maybe 25 years later the images you see here might be of some cultural significance, that they might be seen as more than just pictures of Rock Stars, Pop Bands and Punks. That they even might be worthy of a Museum. So when the Museum approached me three years ago with the idea of a large six month Retrospective in 2015 I agreed, and thought of doing the usual thing and making a Catalogue.

  • What Is Happy Powys' Big Secret?
    What is happy Powys' big secret? Carl Yapp BBC News website Plenty to smile about - Powys is rated the happiest place in the UK, according to a survey Powys is officially the happiest place in the UK, but what is its secret and is it really all it's cracked up to be? After all, the county's transport links and the lack of broadband and mobile phone coverage are regularly lambasted by frustrated residents. However, the people I spoke to in the towns of Llanfair Caereinion and Machynlleth didn't seem to care...much. Musician Ian Gomm exchanged the hustle and bustle of London for sleepy Llanfair, near Welshpool, 33 years ago. Part of cult rock band Brinsley Schwarz, he moved with his family to Powys when the group spilt in 1975. During his time with Brinsley Schwarz, he toured with Paul McCartney and Wings and later during a solo career he formed part of the bill during Dire Straits' first US tour. Since then, he joked, he had been forced to endure Powys' poor transport links, TV reception, mobile phone coverage, the lack of broadband, post offices closing and threats to the county's community hospitals. But despite all the drawbacks he said the county was a wonderful place to live. He added: "Shortly after moving to Powys our friends in London would say, 'What's it like where you live?' "We would say: 'It's horrible, stay In some ways the drawbacks add to the area's away' because we didn't want charm and that's why some people move here anyone to know how peaceful and relaxing it was in comparison to Ian Gomm, musician the rat race in London.

  • The Working Practices of Barney Bubbles | I-D Online 28/09/2010 22:59
    PROCESS: The Working Practices of Barney Bubbles | i-D Online 28/09/2010 22:59 Home » i-Spy » PROCESS: The Working Practices of Barney Bubbles search - Published by i-D 11:49 GMT 22/09/10 More + Cited as a major influence to contemporary practitioners including Peter Saville, Malcolm Garrett and Neville Brody, Barney Bubbles was a radical graphic artist. Coinciding with the London Design Festival, last night the CHELSEA Space celebrated its latest exhibition showcasing the working processes of the late master designer. Born Colin Fulcher (he loved a pseudonym and stuck with Bubbles in 67), the enigmatic designer worked across the disciplines of graphic design, painting and music video direction, working with artists including Ian Drury, Elvis Costello, Billy Bragg and Iggy Pop. Referred to as "the missing link between Pop and Culture" by Peter Saville, Bubbles was most renowned for his work with the British independent music scene during the 70s and early 80s. Fellow designer Julian Balme who created sleeves for Madness, Clash and Adam and The Ants and would often visit Bubbles at his studio, told i-D Online, "Bubbles taught me more than any other university lecturer". More + Curated by Paul Gorman, PROCESS includes an array of work never previously shown, most of it borrowed from private collections. The displays are fascinating and represent the varying stages of Bubbles' creative life, including student notebooks, reference materials, his CV, original artwork, books, magazines, paintings, photography, record sleeves, T-shirts, posters, advertisements, badges and stickers and videos directed by Bubbles. Together, the exhibition clearly demonstrates the designer's signature style.

Alongside your valuable insights and academic expertise, you were also supportive and understanding of a range of personal milestones which took place during the project. I would also like to extend my thanks to other members of the School of Music faculty who offered valuable insight during my research: Dr Kenneth Gloag; Dr Amanda Villepastour; and Prof. David Wyn Jones. My completion of this project would have been impossible without the support of my parents: Denise Arkell and John O’Connell. Without your understanding and backing it would have taken another five years to finish (and nobody wanted that). I would also like to thank my daughter Cecilia for her input during the final twelve months of the project. I look forward to making up for the periods of time we were apart while you allowed me to complete this work. Finally, I would like to thank my wife: Anne-Marie. You were with me every step of the way and remained understanding, supportive and caring throughout. We have been through a lot together during the time it took to complete this thesis, and I am looking forward to many years of looking back and laughing about it all. i Joseph O’Connell Contents Table of Contents Introduction 4 I.
