Quer-Folio (34 x 40 cm.). 416 S., [2] Bl. mit zahlr. farb. Abb. Farbig illustr. Orig.-Halblederband in Orig.-Leinenschuber. Eines von 1600 num. Exemplaren; von Alex Steinweiss signiert. - Texte in Deutsch, Englisch und Französisch. - "Alex Steinweiss hat das Platten-Cover in der uns bekannten Form erfunden und eine neue grafisch…e Kunstform erschaffen. Als junger neuer Art Director für Columbia Records warb er 1940 für eine neue Idee: Warum nicht die schlichte braune Standardverpackung durch eine ins Auge springende Illustration ersetzen? Das Unternehmen ließ es darauf ankommen, und binnen weniger Monate stieg der Plattenumsatz um über 800%. Seine Cover für Columbia die eine kühne Typografie mit Illustrationen von moderner Eleganz kombinierten eroberten die Branche im Sturm und revolutionierten die Art und Weise, wie Platten verkauft wurden. Steinweiss schuf über drei Jahrzehnte hinweg für Columbia, Decca, London und Everest tausende von Original-Cover für Klassik-, Jazz- und Popmusikplatten, außerdem Logos, Label, Werbematerial und sogar eine eigene Schrifttype, die Steinweiss Scrawl. . Weniger bekannt hier aber enthalten sind seine Plakate für die U.S. Navy, Verpackungen und Etikettengestaltungen für Spirituosenfirmen, Filmtitelsequenzen sowie seine bildende Kunst. Weiterhin beinhaltet der Band Essays des dreifach mit dem Grammy ausgezeichneten Art Directors und Designers Kevin Reagan und des Design-Historikers Steven Heller, Steinweiss' persönliche Erinnerungen an eine lange und abenteuerliche Karriere sowie umfangreiche Paraphernalien aus seinen Archiven, die größtenteils erstmals veröffentlicht werden." (Taschen). - Sehr gutes Exemplar. Sprache: englisch.

26,5 x 32 cm. 4 x Shellac-records, 10", 78 RPM, Album. Color illustrated original half cloth cover. Stourdzé, Total Records 10 f. - The first illustrated record cover designed by the american graphic designer Alex Steinweiss (1917-2011). - "In 1939 he was the first art director for Columbia Records, where he introduced a wide ap…plication of the concept of album covers and cover art. As records were mostly sold in uniform brown sleeves back then, he contributed an artistic viewpoint to this practise, widely regarded today as the inventor of the modern record cover designs. He was then active in record cover design from 1939 until 1973, and has designed roughly 2500 covers. He also, in the early 1950s, created the paperboard cover for the then new LP format, and so defined the visual identity of recorded music for decades to come. His cover for Beethovens Piano Concerto No. 5, a white light beam splitting into a prism over a piano (1942), influenced the coverart of Hipgnosis' "The Dark Side Of The Moon" by Pink Floyd for example" (Wikipedia). - The four shellac records with 16 compositions by R. C. Rodgers (1902-1979), 12 of them with vocals by Deane Janis (1904-1988) and Lee Sullivan. - The edges and back cover have been discreetly restored; a very fine copy, the records probably unplayed.
