Review: This collection of album covers offers the opportunity for hours and hours of stories about the artists. The covers themselves are art pieces that stand alone very well. Visitors to my home are intruigued by the unique format are moved to remember the label, the perfomers, the times. The younger buffs want to hear the albums that the covers represent. This is my third purchase of this title.
