Not good enough (5/5 people found this helpful)
Whoever compiled this album might know something about music, but they know nothing about design. It does not contain the best album covers of all time (there are a few), but it does feature some of the tackiest. Many of the covers look the kind you'd expect a leather trousered, poodle haired, stadium rocker from the early eighties to choose.
Any book that ignores Joy Division - Atmosphere. David Bowie - Station to Station. David Bowie - Ziggy Stardust. New Order - Power, Curruption, Lies. Dexter Gordon - GO. Roni Size - Peprazent. Stone Roses debut. Public Image - Box. Massive Attack - Blue Lines, Massive Attack - Mezzanine, not to mention the almost total absense of Trojan and some of the brilliant millitant Reggae covers of the 60's and 70's, demonstrates a dire lack of appreciation for graphic design. A comprehensive disappointment.
