PART 2
In this era of digital downloads and decreasing CD and vinyl record sales, has the design of LP sleeves been consigned to history?
Many consumers now download individual sngs and create personal playlists.
Nothing wrong with that but it shifts the focus away from "the album" and the art of packaging "the album".
Since 1948 the 30 x 30 cm sleeve containing an LP record has been the canvas for many brilliant and captivating images.
Consign the art of cover design to history ...not if I can help it!
Hence the ongoing presentation by www.sablues.org of some of the most appealing record cover designs that are being created today.
Perhaps with the resurgence of vinyl, album cover art is as vital as it's ever been.
