I am in the middle of going through my fathers collection and am researching the albums for historical importance and of course pricing since I would like to sell them. I arrived at this post as I was searching what an Eddy Duchin (Columbia C-32) ablum would sell for and the year issued, which you had in your post.

I'm a french student actually writting an essay about album cover art ; your article is very helpful !<br />I'm just wondering where did you get that quote ? <br />“I got this idea that the way they were selling these albums was ridiculous. The covers were just big brown, tan or green paper. I said: “Who the hell’s going to buy this stuff? There’s no push to it. There’s no attractiveness. There’s no sales appeal.” So I told them I’d like to start designing covers.”<br /><br />I would like to integrate it in my essay, but i have to specify my sources...<br /><br />Thanks again !Ludivinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03485735448826449230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4579264026890509093.post-58114278503699627012013-05-19T16:29:30.408+01:002013-05-19T16:29:30.408+01:00Glad to hear it.

As a teenager in the late 1970s, I spent a lot of time haunting the thrift stores of the San Francisco Bay Area searching for old records. Steinweiss' album covers, usually hanging by a thread to a tattered album of 78 RPM records, were always a thrill to find. I loved them and wanted to buy them all, but I had no idea until about fifteen years ago that one man was responsible for their design. And today, when I transfer my LPs and CDs to the computer, I seek out the original Steinweiss covers rather than the 1960s, or later, reissue artwork. My iTunes is a real cavalcade of art!Narcisohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05145756558278365203noreply@blogger.com
