three recent purchases
a Darill Connelly drawing on the generic Steinweiss squares CBS cover. A Decca which could be Steinweiss, the stars in the background are a nice touch. And a London which has drawings that look like Steinweiss but otherwise the design … Continue reading

The history of lp record covers in the first 5 years 1948 to 1953 fascinates me. Here are two quasi-generic covers for the same music both linked to Alex Steinweiss. The new one, on the left, has Steinweiss’ squares generic … Continue reading
