Seller's Description:
Fine in Very Good jacket. Book. 9h x 9w. A real nice clean unmarked 1st edition Collins & Brown hardcover. First published 2005 by essential works. dust jacket has a couple small tape repaired spots and still looks great. Look at the cover of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Heart Band, for example just one of the 500 memorable images in this amazing collection, all chosen by a panel of 50 experts and each accompanied by enlightening commentary. Among the choices: the brilliantly psychedelic and way-out art from the Rolling Stones' Their Satanic Majesties Request; Peter Tosh's fiery cover for Bush Doctor; and the somewhat demented-looking prom queen on Hole's Live Through This album. From rock to pop, jazz to blues, these are all artistically, stylistically, and culturally significant in their own way, and will undoubtedly spark a debate with fans around the world.
