A bold celebration of the album cover as a modern art form, Phonographics dives into the vibrant visual language of record sleeves from the late 20th century. Curated by Brad Benedict and Linda Barton, this book captures a time when album artwork wasn’t just packaging — it was part of the message.

With hundreds of full-color reproductions, Phonographics showcases the most creative, provocative, and genre-defining covers from across the musical spectrum — from funk to punk, disco to new wave. It's a snapshot of a cultural moment when graphic design, photography, and music collided to produce iconic imagery that still resonates today.

A must-have for vinyl enthusiasts, graphic designers, pop culture collectors, and anyone with a love for music’s golden visual era.
