Album Covers

I started doing album covers early in my career for Columbia Records back in 1963. I remember my first album cover was a 7-inch record of holiday music by a then-unknown singer named Barbra Streisand. I remember being invited to a record party for the release, and I skipped it. Who was this Barbra Streisand anyway? That was a mistake.

Anyway record covers were a great format before everything shrank for the compact disc, but I had great fun exploring different themes and mediums inspired by the musicians. One of the covers was even nominated for a Grammy. Here are a few of the covers.
