Robert Crumb first began drawing record covers in 1968 when Janis Joplin asked him to provide a cover for her album Cheap Thrills. It was an invitation that the budding artist couldn't resist, especially since he had been fascinated with record covers since he was a teenager. This early collaboration proved so successful that Crumb went on to draw hundreds of record covers for both new artists and forgotten masters. So remarkable were Crumb's artistic interpretations of these old 78 rpm singles that the art itself proved influential in their rediscovery in the 1960s and 1970s. Including such classics as Truckin' My Blues Away, Harmonica Blues and Please Warm My Weiner, Crumb's opus also features more recent covers done for CDs. The Complete Record Cover Collection is a must-have for any lover of graphics and American music.

I'm sure there were many people disappointed when Crumb cancelled his tour to Sydney (especially Crumb himself), but this book reminds us why he is so loved. When his neighbour asked him to illustrate her cover, and that cover was for Janis Joplin's Cheap Thrills, a whole new area of artistic expression opened up for Crumb. This beautifully illustrated book collects his entire album covers, demonstrating his love of old 78s. Includes drawings of people like Frank Zappa and Lightnin' Hopkins. Greg
