This Taschen edition gives a new and bold definition to "album art. It brings together more than 500 remarkable records from the collection of Alessandro Benedetti and Peter Bastine.
An intersection between photography, music and design, the book celebrates vinyl for the integrity of sound recordings and its artistic potential as a material form. Featuring artists such as Pink Floyd, The Beatles, Prince, Michael Jackson, Bon Jovi and many more, it offers a fascinating insight into the most complex details of an artist's visual identity, from vibrant colors to a futuristic mirror effect.
The records are arranged thematically and include monochromatic vinyl; unusual vinyl (including silver, gold or mirror vinyl and extremely rare glow-in-the-dark vinyl); multicolored vinyl; etched vinyl (where the music is pressed on only one side); shaped vinyl (cut into shapes that differ from the classic round record); and picture discs (where a photograph or design is stamped on the record's surface).
This kaleidoscopic encyclopedia of innovative and ingenious vinyl records is a colorful journey through pioneering records and artists.
