World’s first album cover
Great find: images of the world's first album cover.
The post on Undependent has a great summary of the story around the first album cover, and a number of images of the cover and packaging.
For the complete history of the album cover and its creator, just hit Wikipedia or pick up a copy of For the Record. Alex Steinwess, a then 23 years old designer, convinced Columbia’s suits to create the first true album cover. Until then, 78s were sold in generic sleeves.
There's more in Undependent's post (via Kottke).
