Last month we gave away 2 copies of Matthew Chojnacki’s new book Put The Needle On The Record featuring record sleeve’s from the 1980’s. Â The book features 2 Eurythmics sleeves, see below for related posts.
Here’s a couple of reviews of the book:
“1980s single cover art was cheeky, sexy, punchy, and glam. Â Matthew Chojnacki vividly chronicles the best of the bunch, illuminating the way music looked via comments from rock stars and art directors with a strong eye for the visual.” Â – Michael Musto, The Village Voice
“Put the Needle on the Record proves that the ’80s wasn’t the decade that taste forgot – but rather the era where single cover artwork came of age and caught up with its LP predecessor…before CDs changed the landscape for good.” – Jason Draper, Record Collector Magazine
“The 1980s. Â The spin point of a time where the collision of art, culture, class, nation, and government was fueled by the steroids of technology. Â Put the Needle on the Record is a great read on an era that many consider the new ’60s.” – Chuck D, Public Enemy
Eurythmics are featured briefly in this fantastic new animated video produced to produce the book.
