Where new design goes to blossom and lost design goes to live again.

KISS puts on some nice shoes, yes indeed.

Yes, oh yes. Vinyl is given the courtesy it deserves. The one true format, the gorgeous, the perfect, the giant: the 12″ record album. The following is a photo collection made by the wild-eyed artist Horacio Salinas. He has draped the cloth, added the apples, and slipped on the shoe. Glare at the elegance of this collection of your favorite rock and roll music.

Pinpointed! You know here at World Famous Design Junkies we’re so very extremely info-oriented, detail oriented, and slap-happy-fact oriented. So what’ve we got here! A shipload of album covers photographed in lovely ways, yes, but which ones?

Bob Dylan’s explosive pop-art “Shout of Love” shot up!

The Greatful Dead’s untitled live album aka “Skullf***” draped in drapery.

Jimi Hendrix’s psychedelic godliness wrapped in underpants “Axis Bold as Love.”

All four KISS solo records “Ace, Paul, Peter, and Gene” all hooved up.

Queen’s promiscuous ladies of the “Fat Bottomed Girls” guild.

The Rolling Stones “Hot Rocks” with a hat on.

The Beatles “White Album” with the very very very literal translation of the four.

And the Yarbirds?

Fear not! You collectors of albums. Even though this set of photos will certainly shoot the popularity of classic rock albums through the roof, you can rest easy knowing I already own most of them. I hope you do, too.
