Rock Covers. 40th Ed. - Jonathan Kirby

„40th Anniversary Edition“ serijos knygos. „Taschen“ leidyklai 40 metų! Nuo tada, kai 1980 m. pradėjo dirbti kaip kultūros archeologai, „Taschen“ leidykla tapo prieinamos leidybos sinonimu, padedančiu „knygraužiams“ visame pasaulyje prižiūrėti savo meno, antropologijos ir afrodizijos biblioteką už neprilygstamą kainą. Šiandien, likdami ištikimi savo įmonės kredo, „Taschen“ leidykla švenčia neįtikėtinų knygų 40-metį. „40th Anniversary Edition“ pristato naujus kai kurių „Taschen“ bestselerių leidimus, kurie dabar kompaktiškesni, draugiškesni ir vis dar išleidžiami su tuo pačiu įsipareigojimu nepriekaištingai produkcijai.

„Rock Covers. 40th Ed.“ - Rock On. The most important record covers in rock history. Album art is indelibly linked to our collective musical memories; when you think of your favorite albums, you picture the covers. Many photographers, illustrators, and art directors have become celebrities from their album artworks—the best examples of which will go down in history as permanent fixtures in popular culture. Paying tribute to this art form, Rock Covers brings you a compilation of more than 750 remarkable album covers, from legendary to rare record releases. Artists as varied as Elvis Presley, The Beatles, The Sex Pistols, Pink Floyd, The Cure, Iron Maiden, and Sonic Youth are gathered together in celebration of the cover art that defined their albums and their cult status. Each cover is accompanied by a fact sheet listing the art director, photographer or illustrator, year, label, and more, while nearly 250 records that marked particular turning points for a band, an artist, or the music genre, are highlighted with short descriptions. This far-reaching catalog of visualized rock is contextualized with insider interviews with professionals who shaped the history of rock, and by top-10 record lists from ten leading rock collectors.
