Description
An album cover collection exploring 70 years of surprising, shocking and frankly hilarious nude and provocative art. Sexy covers sold all musical genres, from funk to punk, and the silly German schlager. Comedy albums range from mid-century "stag party" pin-ups to the undeniably raunchy '70s sensation, Blowfly. Steamy, seamy and adults only.
Critical Reviews
Critical Reviews
"I've collected sexy records since 1977. Most are small label, small production, local distribution releases from the 1960s through the '90s. In many cases I may have the only extant copy, or one of very few, in the world. Which is why I wanted this book to exist."-- "Collector/Author Eric Godtland"
"TASCHEN's sexy record covers are hitting all the right notes."-- "Wallpaper*"
"Captures this ever-persistent pursuit of sexiness."-- "Flaunt Magazine"
"Sexy Record Covers shows hundreds of album covers that have one thing in common: they are revealing, wicked, and frivolous."-- "Stern"
"When Dian Hanson and Eric Godtland review the history of music album artwork, some of which is highly sexualized, for their book Sexy Record Covers, they do so with the cheerful eye of record collectors... Humor and sex work surprisingly well together, even across decades."-- "Rolling Stone"
