You can listen to the albums there as well! I recommend Allo Brigitte (Gillian Hills was in BlowUp) and The Free Pop Electronic Concept (great electro psychedelic music). There are many others for you to explore as well ...
great covers

a note by Bruce Harris, saying among other things: 'a friend once remarked, 'After The Doors, it just wasn't the same sitting down to dinner with your parents anymore'...'
This set is more fashion oriented. I think most of the albums were released in the 50's, probably soon after labels realized that covers featuring beautiful women improved record sales.
I agree, there is something unique about the old styles
Back to illustrations, here are gospel and jazz covers from the 50's and 60's by an enigmatic artist known as "Harvey." Strangely, the identity of the artist is still unknown (read more about it here and here). His work typically involves bold colors and vanishing point perspective.
The flexi disc (also known as a phonosheet or sonosheet) is a phonograph record made of a thin vinyl sheet with a molded-in spiral stylus groove, and is designed to be playable on a normal phonograph turntable. Flexible records were commercially introduced as the Evatone Soundsheet in 1960, but were previously available in the Soviet Union as roentgenizdat or bones, underground recordings on x-ray plates.
Before the advent of the compact disc, flexi discs were sometimes used as a means to include sound with printed material such as magazines and music instruction books. A flexi disc could be molded with speech or music and bound into the text with a perforated seam, at very little cost and without any requirement for a hard binding.
