Jazz Covers

By robd • Category: Blog, design

Ace book on Jazz LP covers from Taschen (link thanks to Spine Magazine). The good stuff starts from page 20. I won’t bang on about how shit it is that CD covers aren’t the same as big old gatefold beautifullness, or even hint about the fact that MP3’s are making all this obsolete anyway. No. I won’t.

Man they look good.

  • huh? did you get my last post rob?
  • Exactly! finding them is the fun!!!

    i'll do you a mix rob what do you fancy? Up to you some 30,000 plus albums to choose from Jazz, soul, breaks, rare groove, hip hop, electronica you name it :)

    One i've done for http://playjazzloud.blogspot.com/ is coming out on monday. Old Jazz classics from Dingwalls so plenty of brazillian, fusion, etc so keep your eyes peeled :)
  • Cheers for that you good sirs!

    I wish I had 80% of those records - jeez. This is the thing though, I could probably d/l them in a long weekend - but where's the fun in that?

    Thanks for the blog link too - shall have a nosy and add it onto the blogroll. Either of you fancy doing a jazz mix for the site?
  • nice book rob hat tip to you sir

    By flicking through the interactive version i have, by my reckoning, about 80% of those published* :)
