1000 Record Covers

In the early 1950s, Michael Ochs became addicted to rock and roll. In the 1960s and 1970s, Ochs ran the publicity departments at Columbia, Shelter, and ABC Records. He has also worked as a DJ, taught a rock history course at UCLA, and written for periodicals such as Rock, Melody Maker, Cashbox, and Crawdaddy. In the mid-1970s, Michael Ochs founded the Michael Ochs Archives. Currently, the archives house millions of pictures as well as over 100,000 albums and singles.


Record covers reflect our lives and eras. They explore subjects such as love, life, death, fashion, and rebellion, just like the music on the discs. For music listeners, album covers are a reflection of a specific time in their lives. Many are works of art that have become as iconic as the music they represent, such as Andy Warhol's covers, which include the banana he made for The Velvet Underground.


This volume of Record Covers features a selection of the best rock album covers from the 1960s to the 1990s from the vast private collection of music archivist, disc jockey, journalist, and former record-publicity executive Michael Ochs. This is a broad look at an underrated art form that is both a trip down memory lane and a study in the evolution of cover art. 1000 Record Covers is regarded as one of the best books on art history.
