Artist Record Works

Record sleeeves form a sub history of art. 12 inch album covers offer a large canvas on which to work. So it became an site of invention.

Sticky Fingers by The Rolling Stones; included a real working zipper on the front cover.

Velvet Underground and Nico had an peelable bannana on the front cover disguising a provocatively coloured pink.
The first pressing of The Who's Live at Leeds had 12 different inserts included.
