In The Groove:
Vintage Record Graphics 1940-1960
by Eric Kohler
Paperback: 132 pages
Publisher: Chronicle Books
(April 1, 1999)
Mr Kohler presents two hundred and fifty covers (from his large collection) which he rightly
thinks show the best of album design in the early years of the LP. He features eight artist/designers
who created some of the most distinctive work in cover art.
David Stone Martin who gave Norman Granz's Clef label some beautiful cover illustrations (twenty are
shown) and Reid Miles who created the east coast look to Blue Note Records are just a few examples.
The other designers range from the unique illustrations of RCA's Jim Flora to the work of Swiss born
designer Erik Nitsche and his semi abstract work for Decca.
Record companies are also featured and you can see the beginnings of the Capitol Records house style,
the only major company to produce consistently well designed covers with excellent photography
and typography.
Condition: Gently read, book is in great condition.
