    5.0 out of 5 stars Express Elevator To Hell
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 7 December 2007
    Format: Hardcover
    Opening this book is like lifting a coffin lid and discovering a treasure trove. Inside are hundreds of budget sleeves, some amazing, some extraordinary and some downright appalling but all part of a dogged anthem to a more innocent age. And if there is a hell that one should enter by descending in an old draw-gate elevator then the lift-music playing would certainly be from the free CD accompanying this marvelous tome... no question. I strongly recommend this book.

    5.0 out of 5 stars a fanastic look and listen....

    if you've found this page and your reading what others think, you are obiviously curious about this book - just buy it.
    some of the sleeves are simply stunning, some are ugly and some are simply insane but all are great to pour of in detail.
    the accompanying cd with the book offered an amazing groovy insight into how a few of these glorious albums sounded to...
    dive in.

    5.0 out of 5 stars An incredible showcase of design from a hidden era!
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 17 November 2005
    Format: Hardcover
    The music library is a collection of the most beautiful/exciting/innovative record sleeves that until now, only a few privileged people in the world have ever seen!
    The covers displayed are culled from the vast quantity of library music lps produced from the 1960's onwards - This was the heyday of library music production. This music was shipped all over the world and used in countless radio and tv programmes. Where there is a record, there is a cover...and more and more library labels broke out of the generic one-sleeve-fits-all attitude and started producing custom artwork for every different lp.
    This cover art often invoked an aspect of the music contained on the accompanying record - at its simplist leve, a record solely containing strings would have violin's and cello's adorning the cover! However, as the music got more abstract through the very experimental 60's/70's periods, then so did the covers.
    You often look at the covers wondering a million things - That cover is incredible, I hope the music is...What went through the designers mind when creating this piece...Where can I find this record...Hmm I can use this font for my next album sleeve...
    This is the beauty of this work - It can be pondered over, recycled into your next design, used a a research tool and just be be adored.

    5.0 out of 5 stars ライブラリー物のジャケ写真集
    Reviewed in Japan on 20 July 2009
    Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase
    ライブラリー物のレコードを集めている者にとっては、楽しい内容の洋書だと思う。レアな物からおなじみの物まで、比較的幅広く紹介している。ジャケットのデザインワークに重点をおいているので、説明文は少なめだが、レーベル名、年代、主な演奏者などの情報も簡潔に記載されている。値段が少々張るので、レコードやジャケットデザイン、ライブラリー物に興味のない人にはオススメ出来ないが、個人的には購入して正解だったと思う。
