Factory Records, a company who blurred the balance between art and design during the early years finally expressing the true intention with this credit printed on the inner sleeve of the Happy Monday's album "Pills, Thrills and Bellyaches". The front cover, see below, all about consumerist America and it's confectionery packaging.
In many ways not to call this art and label Andy Warhol art would not be fair. Both creators are work in different ways to achieve the same desired effect. Bright colours, satirical tone & bold. Just one is lauded and hung up in galleries in, the other is mostly forgetten unless you liked the album.
