Album Covers

According to wikipedia:
an album cover is a cover used to package commercial audio recordings such as the printed cardboard covers that were typically used to package 12" gramaphone records from the 60s through to he 80s whent the 12" record was the major formatg for distribution of popular music.

The cover serves 3 main purposes:
  • To protect the record, whose grooved surface was delicate
  • To advertise the contents, as the record had little room on its own record label.
  • To convey the artistic aspirations of the original artists
The covers i will b looking at are:
