ALBUM COVERS | THE BLUES

Anthology Of The Blues was a twelve LP series that first appeared in 1969. Some of the albums feature a single artist (often a notable one) whilst others compile regional sides from lesser known performers. All feature portraits on the covers, giving the series a visual cohesion along side the genre focus.
Vinyl Connection only has half the set, but I still think they are work sharing. A couple of these are original US releases on the Kent label, others are from Europe via Musidisc and one proves that the series got pressed in Australia (on the Image label). Hope you enjoy them.

      Agreed. It is quite inviting to go down the rabbit hole of foundation blues recordings!

    Man just when I think I have it all figured out you pop up with these. I had no idea and now I’m wondering where I missed the boat.

      Hehehe. The covers grabbed my attention initially, CB. But then I read the back cover of Waves in my favourite record shop (at that time) and saw Steve Winwood was on it. That was enough for me! (Waves is still my fave.)
