Wax Poetics Cover Story Vol 2 – Odd, Obscure, & Outrageous Album Art
Book (Item 477217) Wax Poetics, 2010 — Condition: New Copy
Wax Poetics take a sharp left turn for Cover Story Vol 2 – veering into the strange and bizarre realms of album cover art – featuring hundreds of odd, mysterious or otherwise bugged out soul, funk, jazz, hip hop and rock album covers in this excellent tome to vinyl LP archaeology! The book wastes little time getting to the good stuff. After a brief intro by Dave Hollander, it dives right in and doesn't take a break for chapters, essays or explanations. The cover art speaks for itself – and it's wild, fun stuff – from the weird cover photos or illustrations for bonafide classics and legendary underground gems, to private press oddball efforts we've never seen before! It's all here – unflattering photos of musical giants, unknown artists and spiritual leaders, charmingly/clumsily hand drawn covers, colorfully far out prog and psych art illustrations, bold period funk, soul, rock and new age fashion choices captured for posterity and so much more! Paperback, 288 pages. © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc. | |||||
