Interesting way to sell an album Posted: 5 months ago by sholom22
Instead of getting a disk, fans will get a shirt with cover art on the front and a track list on the back. This shirt will not come with a CD. Instead, it will feature a code for each fan to use in order to download the album off the internet for free.

The World's First Album Cover Posted: 1 year ago by 2manyusernames
Lord knows we enjoy the creativity of Album Covers. Some are amazing works of art, others are... less so. Until 1939 albums were packaged in generic sleeves. Alex Steinweiss pioneered the Album Art that is so standard today.

The storied histories of rock and metal are filled with episodes in which sordid album art made its way out of record company art departments and onto store shelves, where it caused an outcry until the record company repackaged the album in a more shopper-friendly guise.
