neveronfriday Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 Hi everyone, whenever I have to turn my mind off completely for one reason or another, I sit and rework crummy scans of classic LP covers (David Stone Martin, Alex Steinweiss, any LP with graphics on it and ... old). It's a strange way of relaxing, but it works. I've recently been working on the cover of this LP: LP on Discogs It's got some totally generic space art, but I was wondering if the artist is credited anywhere. I found a few bad scans of the back of the cover and I couldn't make out any attribution. Just in case ... does anyone know who drew the cover for this one (my guess it was some contracted or in-house artist that never got his name mentioned). Thanks for looking.

Teasing the Korean Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 There are no art/graphics credits on my copy of the record - nothing on the back, and no (visible) signature on the front. I'm guessing it was done in-house. BTW, Ken Nordine provides the narration between selections. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, I knew about Ken Nordine.I have actually collected (=downloaded from the Internet) quite a few covers of LPs on which he does the narrating, especially the "Jazz Word" LPs that often have great covers.

Teasing the Korean Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 Slightly off topic: While "Sounds in Space" is basically a stereo demonstration album with outer space graphics, there is a nice discussion of postwar orchestral outer space mood music, including cover art, here: http://www.ele-mental.org/~ecc/exo/exotica/osearticle.html This sub-sub-genre has retroactively been dubbed "outer space exotica." I started a thread on this music here: http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=53818 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
