Adventures in Album Art: Extraordinary Records – A Book By Giorgio Moroder
Whether you realize it or not, chances are you are familiar with the work of Italian producer extraordinaire Giorgio Moroder. In addition to producing his own electro opus, 1977′s From Here to Eternity, he has also produced records by Blondie’s Debbie Harry and David Bowie. Perhaps you love movies such as Scarface? Midnight Express? American Gigolo? The Neverending Story? Well, the righteously mustached Moroder is responsible for their soundtracks and scores.
Now the Italian synth king takes a stab at one of the oldest artforms in the world–the book. In May, Taschen Books will release “an original collection featuring the most remarkable vinyl artifacts ever produced: a connoisseur’s selection of records in a plethora of colors, shapes, and forms, imprinted with extraordinary effects and images.”
It looks super extensive and insanely nerdy, which means it’s a must have for any true audiophile. Check out some spreads below: (click to enlarge)
