Music For Space Squirrels (1958) by Al Caiola’s Magic Guitars.<\/em><\/p>\n

Having sought out Saul Bass’s album cover designs recently, curiosity impelled me to see what fellow New York designer Milton Glaser<\/a> had been doing during the same period. I already knew some of Glaser’s covers for the Tomato label in the 1970s but Discogs has many more<\/a>, including a handful in the Pop\/psychedelic style he used most famously for his Bob Dylan poster<\/a>. Not all of these are to my taste\u2014illustration-wise I prefer Bob Pepper’s art<\/a>\u2014but Glaser was nothing if not versatile. I’ve no idea what Music for Space Squirrels<\/em> sounds like although it’s probably less interesting than the promise of those floating rodents.<\/p>\n

Einstein On The Beach (1978) by Philip Glass & Robert Wilson.<\/em><\/p>\n

The Glass and Hassell were both on the Tomato label. Glaser only provided the type layout for Earthquake Island<\/em>, the cover painting which wraps the gatefold being a minutely-detailed work by Mati Klarwein<\/a>.<\/p>\n
