Book Description
The dynamic 1970s saw the optimistic ideals of the previous decade achieving mainstream acceptance even as a conservative backlash took shape. Little wonder this turbulent time was reflected in its diverse music–and in iconic album covers that came to symbolize an era. Classic Album Covers of the 1970s is a visual journey through more than 200 of the very best, from psychedelia-influenced artwork to punk anti-design, from Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, and David Bowie, to Patti Smith, The Ramones, and the Sex Pistols.
