Other books have already praised the music inside the sleeves of these musical masterpiences, but "DK 100 Best Album Covers" focuses exclusively on 100 of the most striking and lasting images in popular music. Charting the changes and developments in album design since the 1960s, each of the world-famous covers has been specially chosen as a classic document of its time. From the 60s psychedelia of Pink Floyd to the Britpop of Blur, all the covers are reproduced in full colour. Detailed annotations explain the creative genius involved in their production and lively text provides anecdotes about the work of the designers from Andy Warhol to Peter Saville.

This newly reformatted edition of Classic Album Covers of the 60s 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.
