ill., ril. Album art is indelibly linked to our collective musical memories; when you think of your favorite albums, you picture the covers. Many photographers, illustrators, and art directors have become celebrities from their album artworks-the best examples of which will go down in history as permanent fixtures in popular culture. Paying tribute to this art form, Rock Covers brings you a compilation of more than 750 remarkable album covers, from legendary to rare record releases. Artists as varied as Elvis Presley, The Beatles, The Sex Pistols, Pink Floyd, The Cure, Iron Maiden, and Sonic Youth are gathered together in celebration of the cover art that defined their albums and their cult status. Each cover is accompanied by a fact sheet listing the art director, photographer or illustrator, year, label, and more, while nearly 250 records that marked particular turning points for a band, an artist, or the music genre, are highlighted with short descriptions. This far-reaching catalog of visualized rock is contextualized with insider interviews with five professionals who shaped the history of rock, and by top-10 record lists from ten leading rock collectors.
ill., ril. "Elvis chi?" fu la risposta del fotografo Alfred Wertheimer quando, all'inizio del 1956, un addetto stampa della casa discografica RCA Victor gli chiese di fotografare un crooner emergente di Memphis. Non poteva certo immaginare che quello sarebbe diventato il lavoro della sua vita: ad appena 21 anni, Elvis Presley - ora lo sappiamo bene - stava per diventare una leggenda. Seguendolo come un'ombra, quell'anno Wertheimer scattò circa 3000 foto di Presley, dando vita a un ritratto penetrante di un uomo a un passo dalla fama. Il progetto di Wertheimer, di un'intimità straordinaria e un respiro senza precedenti, immortala un giovane musicista mentre sta letteralmente per fare la storia. Elvis and the Birth of Rock and Roll raccoglie gli scatti più notevoli di Wertheimer che ritraggono Elvis in quell'anno magico, oltre a una selezione delle sue fotografie storiche del 1958, quando la star venne inviata in una base militare in Germania. Ogni capitolo è corredato da un poster creato da Hatch Show Print, uno dei più antichi laboratori di stampa letterpress in America, che ha creato molti dei primi poster di Elvis negli anni Cinquanta.
ill., ril. Dall'obiettivo di uno dei fotografi musicali più famosi di sempre, uno sguardo unico sull'età d'oro del rock: foto mai viste prima di leggende come Van Halen, Ozzy Osbourne, Aerosmith e Mötley, Metallica, Guns N' Roses, Bon Jovi, Kiss e molti altri. Con interviste esclusive a: Ozzy Osbourne, Dee Snider, Nikki Sixx, Joe Perry, Rob Halford e tante storie e aneddoti mai rivelati sul decennio che ha segnato un'epoca irripetibile. Prefazione di Rob Halford. Postfazione di Eddie Trunk. Con il contributo di Daniel Siwek.
