Portraying Performer Image in Record Album Cover Art, Hardback Book

Portraying Performer Image in Record Album Cover Art Hardback

Part of the For the Record: Lexington Studies in Rock and Popular Music series

Hardback

Description

In Portraying Performer Image in Record Album Cover Art, Ken Bielen explains how album cover art authenticates recording artists by using elements that authenticate the performer in the particular genre.

He considers albums issued from the 1950s to the 1980s, the golden era of record album cover art.

The whole album package is studied including the front and back covers, the inside cover, the inner sleeve, and the text (liner notes) on the album jacket.

Performers in rock and roll, folk and folk rock, soul and disco, psychedelic, Americana nostalgia, and singer-songwriter genres are included in this study of hundreds of record album covers.
