Robert Sherlow Johnson: piano - Sherlow Law / Messiaen 1971I picked up this record from my local record stall, run by Amber Green. To be honest can't really comment on the music. Avant garde, modern classical piano. Can't quite get into it yet.
The cover however, I can get into. Really nice bit of proper, old fashioned sleeve design. Lovely bit of abstract graphics with all the text in and around. Pretty funky what with the zig-zags, angeled text and bright (but minimal) colours.
The design is credited to George Daulby, from BDMW Associates, which was a classic 60's design firm a'la Fletcher Forbes Gill. Check out his classic back cat of designs.
Also like the way the 2nd side is highlighted on the back by the previous owner. As in, "this is the avant garde bomb, for the avant garde party"
