I was just thinking the same thing regarding album artwork. So sad. It’s such an icon part of music and art history.

I remember buying an album by the Screaming Trees in the early 90s called “Uncle Anesthesia” simply because I loved the artwork. As it turns out, the artist was Mark Ryden. I never would have discovered the band nor the artist back in the day had it not been for the alluring album artwork.

Check out the packaging for Boulder Acoustic Society’s new CD, Punchline. Includes a 3-D viewer and pics of the band and each member. It doesn’t hurt that it’s a great band, too! http://www.boulderacousticsociety.net

I agree with Kristina, lps are the best. They instantly give you a warm feeling. The record itself is very tactile. The album art is like a present which you can display in your house. I recommend a great looking (vintage) recordplayer to go with that!

I still buy CD’s…and the ‘Album Art’, liner notes are all part of the experienc for me. There is so much unique info on the liner notes from the artist or the band that is missed when you download songs. The album art ‘sets the tone’ for the music. Of all package / design professions this would be my dream job.

We just hired Chris Delorenzo to do our window displays for our vintage lingerie store in NoLita. He did a FABULOUS job and I would recommend him to anyone!

Buying lps is so much more satisfying… and the art is so much larger. I think most people who like to buy music as a holistic product – a feast for the eyes and the ears – have moved to record collecting.
