The Cover Art of Blue Note Records is a complete collection of the original volumes published nearly two decades earlier. Iconic artists such as Herbie Hancock, Miles Davis, Sonny Rollins and Art Blakey, make this anthology of over 400 of the finest record sleeves in the label's history an evocative piece of Jazz history.

"Blue Note Records were very meticulous in every aspect of their production: they used the best vinyl, they paid for rehearsals and when I asked to be in on the other parts of my album Alfred Lion (the label's founder) gave me every opportunity. A lot of musicians in those days worked very hard to make good music and once the music was done they let Alfred Lion go with the rest of it.

"I don't have a favourite cover of mine...but thinking back now you know, I kinda like the Tokyo Blues cover!"

Horace Silver, Blue Note Recording Star 1952-1979
