mikeweil Posted September 28, 2003 Report Share Posted September 28, 2003 (edited) couw's posting of a rare Prestige 16 2/3 rpm record cover designed by Andy Warhol was the inspiration for this thread: let's compile a gallery of all covers Andy Warhol designed for Blue Note, Prestige, any other labels ... I'm sure it will be nice to look at. I'll start with the cover couw found - thanks for posting this rare bird, I like it, but these horns somehow look (ancient) Greek to me, not like trombones, he must have been suffering a heavy Picasso influence at the time!

Jim R Posted September 28, 2003 Report Share Posted September 28, 2003 There's one other cover which I have in a book, but can't locate an image on the web. Artie Shaw - BOTH FEET IN THE GROOVE (RCA LPM-1201), from 1956... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeweil Posted September 28, 2003 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2003 (edited) And this is the cover designed by some T. Tanaka & F. Fujiyama for the first release of this Grant Green session in Japan, highly derivative of Warhol's covers: Edited September 28, 2003 by mikeweil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Posted September 14, 2004 Report Share Posted September 14, 2004 (edited) "1958: ANDY WARHOL'S MOTHER WINS A GRAPHIC DESIGN AWARD. Warhol's mother often did the lettering for his designs. Her lettering on the cover of a Louis Hardin album, The Story of Moondog, won an award from the American Institute of Graphic Arts as "Andy Warhol's mother". The writing had been rearranged graphically by Warhol for the cover. (AWM58)" (http://www.warholstars.org/chron/192862.html) This cover is reproduced in the booklet to the OJC CD MORE MOONDOG / THE STORY OF MOONDOG...

EAshley Posted October 15, 2008 Report Share Posted October 15, 2008 Whoa, I had no idea that Andy Warhol designed album covers! The only connection I thought he had to music was the Velvet Underground. I mean, sure, he basically started them, so it's not a small connection or anything, but I didn't know he did this too. If you guys are interested, there's some interesting info about his involvement with the music scene at that time in this Andy Warhol biography. Warhol is really just unlimited! I'm a huge fan of all his work, including those cool covers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teasing the Korean Posted October 15, 2008 Report Share Posted October 15, 2008 In another thread, I mentioned that he did the inside booklet to the Munch/BSO album of Ravel's "Daphnis et Chloe" on RCA Red Seal. This is the earlier mono album from the mid 50s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
