ABBA were a Swedish pop/rock/disco group formed in Stockholm in 1972, comprising Agnetha Fältskog, Benny Andersson, Björn Ulvaeus and Anni-Frid Lyngstad. ABBA is an acronym of the first letters of the band members' first names and is sometimes stylized as the registered trademark ᗅᗺᗷᗅ. They became one of the most commercially successful acts in the history of pop music, topping the charts worldwide from 1972 to 1982. They are also known for winning the 1974 Eurovision Song Contest, giving Sweden its first victory in the history of the contest and being the most successful group ever to take part in the contest. ABBA has sold over 370 million records worldwide and still sells millions of records a year, which makes them one of the best-selling music artists of all time. Here is a collection of vintage ABBA album covers. (via)

Ob Salvador Dalí wohl gerne romantische Tanzmusik und Mood Music gehört hat, heute zumeist geringschätzig „Easy Listening“ genannt? Man kann nur mutmassen, zumindest fabrizierte er einen echten Dalí als Plattencover für den US-amerikanischen Entertainer und Orchesterchef Jackie Gleason, auf dessen Plattenhüllen ansonsten schmachtende Frauen oder auch nur deren Beine, Liebespärchen und Cocktailgläser dominierten. Gleasons Lonesome Echo erschien 1955 und ist damit ein frühes Beispiel für die Kollaboration zwischen bildender Kunst und Tonkunst. Die Geschichte der Popmusik ist immer auch die Geschichte ihrer ästhetischen Inszenierung, und die bildende Kunst hatte stets einen grossen Anteil daran. Francesco Spampinatos beispiellose Sammlung zeigt über 500 Album- und Plattencover, die zwischen den 1950er-Jahren und heute von Künstlern gestaltet wurden, darunter Jean-Michel Basquiats städtische Hieroglyphen für sein eigenes Label Tartown, Banksys schablonierte Graffiti für Blur und Damien Hirsts Schädel mit Zifferblattaugen für The Hours. Die Cover werden von aufschlussreichen Analysen und allen sachdienlichen Informationen zu Coverkünstler und Interpret begleitet, während Interviews mit Tauba Auerbach, Shepard Fairey, Kim Gordon, Christian Marclay, Albert Oehlen und Raymond Pettibon persönliche Anekdoten und Einsichten zur Liaison zwischen bildenden und musizierenden Künstlern beisteuern.
