 An insightful, intriguing and comprehensive look at the extensive history of album artwork arrives in the form of Art Record Covers [Taschen]. In its introduction, author Francesco Spampinato - who is currently completing a PhD at the Sorbonne Nouvelle in Paris - explains how records are an opportunity to lift some of the sacredness away from contemporary art and can be viewed as the artist's way of escaping the constraints that are imposed by the art world. The book was borne out of Spampinato's interest in the relationship between art and pop culture; his dual approach to music and sound "from the perspective of both a contemporary art and visual culture historian, and as an enthusiast, listener and music collector".  Cover for Yeah Yeah Yeahs' It's Blitz!It examines a staggering array of covers by famous artists - from Banksy's graffiti for Blur, Damien Hirst's skull for The Hours, Warhol's Velvet Underground banana, and the Dali butterfly on Jacke Gleason's Lonesome Echo. On a section that looks at how Banksy's art has been used it notes that the majority been featured unofficially and often without authorisation - because the artist is so difficult to get hold of and so in demand. A rare case where Banksy willingly offered his work as album art was for his collaboration with Danger Mouse, following the pair's guerilla stunt where they illegally placed 500 copies of Paris Hilton's debut record in shops around the UK. The book also features interviews by the artists and musicians themselves: one particularly relevant one asks Shephard Fairy [OBEY Records] how he brings the rebellious, provocative attitude of genres like punk and hip hop into his own work, in order to reflect it back on the music. Another looks at The Velvet Underground & Nico - which arguably boasts the most iconic and recognisable work of album art of all time - which turns 50 in March this year.  Artwork itself, spanning 500 different covers in a 448-page tome, is richly coloured, diverse and lovingly arranged so the reader can enjoy either flitting from page to page to find their favourites; or to allow for a closer analysis on the history of each work and its respective artist, showing how pop art, postmodernism and contempary art have informed the spread of images over the years. Of course it takes a look at the classics - Mapplethorpe's exquisite portrait of Patti Smith for Horses is just one example - but it also avoids reiterating what has already been said by also looking at the likes of Jeff Koons for Lady Gaga, and Takashi Murakami for Kanye West.    In a year where vinyl sales are set to rise once again after a record-breaking year in 2016, this is an important look at how the physical record format is an affordable - but nonetheless precious - piece of art for the everyday music fan. www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/books/reviews/art-record-covers-book-album-music-velvet-underground-andy-warhol-a7606391.html |

Cool, funny likkle books. Nice wee mementos. Simon Munnery is Banksy too? a lot of people don't understand simon, he is a hugely talented individual, and that is why Banksy chose to follow his work and recreate some of his work within his own pieces and yes a great pick up at less than £3......... |
