Unique in its scope and choice 1000 Record Covers, in a new flexi-cover format, illustrates how Rock is not just music but a way of life, an attitude and a style. By definition, rock music is for the moment; today's hit is tomorrow's oldie, probably destined for oblivion. The same applies to album covers. Designed by innovative artists and photographers, they hit the popular nerve of the moment and a good cover can help underwrite an album's success. 1000 Record Covers collect the most important covers of the Rock Era, from Megahits to obscure collectors' items: a history of almost half a century's music in miniature.
