商品説明
In the end, the mysterious (and eternally debatable) selection formula matters not. The history, inspiration, and technical design details provided for each of the 100 covers that made the cut serve as reason enough for their inclusion. Did you know that Led Zeppelin's Houses of the Holy cover was inspired by Arthur C. Clarke's novel, Childhood's End?? Or that the burning man on Pink Floyd's Wish You Were Here was actually on fire (and in a bit of danger)? Or that an original idea for Supertramp's Breakfast in America was to depict cereal and milk rolling through the Grand Canyon? Tasty tidbits like these, along with quotes from designers, photographers, and the musicians themselves, make this a must-have volume for music fans--yes, even if your personal top 100 covers would constitute an entirely different collection. --Brangien Davis

100 of the "best", as chosen by Storm Thorgerson and Aubrey Powell, are nicely illustrated and are surrounded with small boxes containing information about key aspects of the design. Therein lies the problem. None of the boxes allow either of the authors to really get going as to what they feel about the design. There are no emotive rants, just cold facts. The facts are interesting and help to inform an appreciation of the designers choice of actions/processes undertaken.
The introduction to the main body of the book is thoroughly enjoyable and is enlightening, because the two authors have space to rant. There is a great story about Rod Stewart, riots, machetes, scheming managers and fishing which only serves to make the lack of these storys elsewhere more obvious. More stories like this one would have made the book a much more all round enjoyable read.
Plus points - good large images, key facts stated, genuinely talented and knowledgeable authors, wide range of sleeves chosen(50's right up to the 90's, Zappa to Prince), not too many sleeves printed across the spine, physically well put together book(even the paperback version I have), nice bits of anorak detail - font selection, methods of painting/printing, construction of props etc.....
Bad points - some images printed across the spine, not enough emotive input or human aspect to the process, clinical in tone
I have been spoiled by having read For The Love of Vinyl by the same authors before I read this book, so if you have not read the other book bear in mind that I have seen what these two can do when let loose on their own work.
Not the best book on album design, that is For The Love Of Vinyl, but an informative, great value for money and straightforward read.
