RECORD COVERS




"In 1939, 22 year old Alexander Steinweiss proposed to Columbia to make a change in the presentation and packaging of the 78 RPM record albums. Sleeves for single disks were often made of plain paper or had more elaborate designs which served as advertisements not directly linked to the recorded music pressed on the disk."

Thankyou Alex Steinweiss, without you, a whole art form may never have existed.
