Dean Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 As much as I dislike the northern soul 'tat' that's on sale on-line and at some events, I do like to personalise wall space with key items that mean something to me. I've taken to having a few soul album covers above the decks at home. I think this is my favourite so far. Neater and more attractive than an historical collection that's been on the wall for far too long. What would your favourite album covers be, for the art not for the music (although I guess most of us would want the music to be credible)? Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Concrete Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 You can't beat Blue Note albums for art. There are coffee table books dedicated to it , Give me a Reid Miles photograph or an Andy Warhol sketch anyday Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Ian Dewhirst Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 I've noticed this book has recently arrived in a few cut-out bookshops in London and is well worth picking up if you're into album art. There's a handy site where you can leaf through the first 100 pages too...... https://www.taschen.com/lookinside/06752/index.htm There's some beauties......

boba Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 one of the only album covers on my wall: the rest of my wall is covered with signed publicity photos though Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Kris Holmes Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 I have a bunch of LP covers & beat 45s on the wall of my classroom, the kids are always asking about them. The blurry writing of "Shotgun" on the Jr Walker LP cover gets lots of stares. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Dean Posted May 17, 2011 Author Share Posted May 17, 2011 A few other contenders for frames. I'm leaning towards the two Marvin Gaye pics. The Dusty album has some brilliant pics inside, there's a gatefold booklet between the sleeves that oozes 60s UK. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Mike Lofthouse Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 . The Dusty album has some brilliant pics inside, there's a gatefold booklet between the sleeves that oozes 60s UK. Agreed - fantastic B&W photos in the Dusty album - add to that an amazing selection of tracks and covers - don't make 'em like that anymore!
