Holiday Magazine record tie-in, decca dl8000s
These are 8 covers in a series Decca did in the 1950s, tied in to Holiday Magazine. It is fun (I hope) to see this many of them together. I don’t know how many there were. I think Alex Steinweiss … Continue reading
four more steinweiss decca dl8000s, two with color variants
the title says it all. not necessarily steinweiss designs, but probably. I just acquired a few more dl8000s from earlier than this, I hope to get them scanned soon.
six more, most of them probably Steinweiss
Six more covers, mid 1950s, from Decca numbered in the DL8000 series. All of them are possibly Alex Steinweiss designs. Most are almost definitely his.
the next seven possible alex steinweiss covers

five more steinweiss covers for decca DL8000s
the next five of my Decca DL8000s. The Ink Spots one need not be Steinweiss, the other five I would put a 99% confidence interval on for being alex Steinweiss designs. I think they are all really beautiful, except the … Continue reading
next five possible steinweiss designs on decca dl8000 series
the next five. Whether these are steinweiss designs I don’t know. I think the Holiday magazine series is, and these are the first two of those that I have – more to come. Bing Crosby? I don’t know. Certainly the … Continue reading
the next nine decca 8000s, some steinweiss, one probably erik nitsche
The next nine of my Decca 8000s, around 1955. The first one looks a lot like Erik Nitsche, a few are almost definitely alex steinweiss, and the rest could be. They are not signed.
