Classic Rock Covers is a visually rich compilation that celebrates the artistry of rock album design from the 1950s through the 1990s. Curated by music archivist and journalist Michael Ochs, the book showcases a selection of iconic album covers from his extensive private collection. It serves both as a nostalgic journey through decades of rock history and as a study of the evolution of album art as a form of visual expression.
This volume is part of Taschen’s Icons series, known for its compact format and high-quality reproductions. It’s an ideal addition for music enthusiasts, graphic design aficionados, and anyone interested in the cultural impact of rock music’s visual identity.
