I worked on many Riverside,Jazzland Tradition record covers in 1960,1961 being a young 19 year old Photo assistant to Donald Silverstein then at 210 Fifth avenue in NYC. I have just found your website and love it as I never left this
era mentally much “I can’t say it’s been a blast from the past”
A Japanese collection was produced of all the Riverside covers ever made which I own and happy to have been on set and made the prints
for Tough Tenors,& other Johnny Griffin Records,Junior Mance (which won a Variety newspaper album photo of the week award) Monk ,Ida May Cox,Benny Carter, Sonny Red that LP”Breezing” a great cover by the way. What a time of life to be a young photographer.
Prior to my work for Silverstein I had worked with Murray Laden
on a few Jazz albums which used his very cool wife the model
Blair Brown on the cover where she looked like five different women
on just by changing her wigs. I also worked at radio stationWEVD for another photog and went to Birdland often to see Monk.Coltrane,Dizzy Gee & Count Basie with WEVD’s famous live Jazz show run by “Symphony Sid” (Torin). The WEVD building(W 46th St) also housed
Folkways Records, how cool is that?

This is definitely one of the better sites out there sporting the love of album artwork. I wanted to let you know about an iPhone app that my brother and I developed for sleevefacing. It’s called Sleevefacer and can be found here.

http://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/sleevefacer/id471522760?mt=8

I thought it may be something you’d be interested in, and if you would find it “post-worthy”…well, we would be flattered as well as extremely thankful. It just launched on the app store yesterday.

Once again, thanks for putting together a worthy site for the art of the album cover. Very well done!

Hello! I am new to the site, and am thouroughly enjoying browsing! I have a bunch of covers that I would like to photograph and submit. I need some advice on how to photograph them (lighting, technique..etc) I am not a pro by any stretch, but would like to shoot the best possible with the equipment I have. 10″ inchers are easily scanned, but the 12″inchers dont quite get the entire cover scanned. Would welcom all advice!
