Cover Art - The Vinyl Thread ep.14

Welcome to The Vinyl Thread with Natalie and Alban Low. Join us each week for 20 minutes of vinyl and shellac from around the globe. We spin flea market finds and auction lots into a themed selection for you to enjoy. We really love record sleeve art, deciphering the signature on the cover, finding out about the artist. This week we talk about 6 cover artists and their art.

Cover Art and Artists - Vinyl Joblottin' ep.26

Each week on Vinyl Joblottin’ we buy a bundle of vinyl at auction (or find one in a record shop, charity shop, car boot sale, etc). The records are a slice of a collection, giving us a glimpse into a collector’s past. Then we spin each joblot into a theme for you.

When I’m searching the vinyl joblots on sale each day, the art on the record sleeve is often an instant indicator of the era and genre. It can also be a shorthand for quality and is often the first thing that piques my interest. Spanning a 10 year period, 1953-1963, the cover art on these records come from 6 different artists, some well known, with others lost to obscurity.
