The covers of music albums are an integral part of the experience, and it has been that way ever since the late ‘60s, when music took a more idealistic turn and its true scope as a medium for social change became evident. Covers began evolving very quickly, and they went from these bland band photographs to illustrations like the ones gracing “Revolver” and (a little later on) the ones decorating the covers of albums like “Tommy” by The Who.
As practical as digital music is, it also implies that some people are not enjoying the artwork of the discs that they are getting. That means they are missing a part of each story, and in some cases the loss can be significant. Not that the music is worse by you lacking the cover, it is just that it becomes somehow less contextualized.
A site like this one aims to provide a solution to that dilemma, as it gather together an eclectic collection of hi-resolution cover art that can be used with your MP3s or collection of digital music. It can likewise be employed with any music cataloging software.
These covers are not only scanned in high quality, they are actually extensively edited in order to be usable and elegant at the same time. And the site also comes with a blog that is equally fun and informative.
