Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Throughout his career, Turner has relentlessly pushed the medium of photography to achieve an extraordinary vision with an uncompromising thirst for bold color and composition. Yet Turner feels that "what really kept my name out there were these record covers." This book showcases 100 covers and their art in close to original size; many of the covers are rare and out-of-print, now collector's items, and connect to a who's who of musical legends--from Count Basie, John Coltrane, and Stan Getz, to Quincy Jones, Freddie Hubbard, and Steely Dan. Turner's covers set new standards for this medium and transformed albums into art objects, sought after both for the music they contain and the cover art they display.

Book News Annotation:

The images of Pete Turner's album covers are celebrated in color plates published in a book as big as an LP (12.25x12.25"). The notes for each cover document Turner's process, often including his own comments on it, as well as the story of the artist and album. Not indexed.
