Welcome to Art Of The Album, a celebration of good old-fashioned vinyl record covers.
 All the albums you'll find here are for sale.
No bidding, no sniping, no waiting. Just send me an email with what you want and if nobody else has already bought it, it's yours.

LAST UPDATE: FEBRUARY 28 2012

This is a work in progress. I have hundreds of records to list and it's going to take a while. If you'd like to be kept informed of updates drop me a and I'll send you a notification.

This site is dedicated to featuring front cover album art. Seam splits and significant front cover flaws will be noted in the descriptions.

As the focus is on cover art the records themselves may not be in the best condition. If either back cover or vinyl condition is important to you, please let me know and I'll give you a condition report. Usually the vinyl itself would be a basic VG or better.
If I think a record is particularly rare I will grade the vinyl. As this is a very subjective area, I visually grade under a strong light bulb, noting any issues I see. On occasion I will play-grade a record, too. I err on the side of caution and will always be overly-critical in my grading.
Right here is where you'll find all the information you need to place an order.

Just click the label on the left.

WARNING!Some of the covers may include images that some delicate folks may find offensive. For example: partial nudity, full nudity, nazis, communists, religion, very large people, very small people, atomic explosions, drug addicts, flesh-ripping weasles, large dogs and kittens.
If you are the sort of person who may be upset by any of the above I urge you to proceed with caution or click on the spinning record at the top of the page and you will be whisked away to a less controversial web site, one that features our mosaic art : )
