Alex Steinweiss. The Inventor of the Modern Album Cover - Rezensionen
"Ignoring the clanging death knell of the physical media, TASCHEN are celebrating the great man's work with a luxurious compendium that focuses on the sparkling jazz, pop and classical covers he produced before 1962, when rock and roll swept in an heralded the age of the photographic cover."Word Magazine, LondonGroßbritannien |

"Alex Steinweiss is justly remembered for the way he brought Columbia's records out of themselves. He managed to make Beethoven look like Pink Floyd, Xavier Cugat like a Disney film, and Louis Armstrong like Kanye West....TASCHEN's book is stupidly, prohibitively expensive to most, but it's still lovingly put together. The sleeves are the stars, but wonderful factory line-style photos and evocative shots of Steinweiss with his lifelong geau, smoking cigars, always wearing suits, fills it out in style."Record Collector, LondonGroßbritannien |

"No one can hold a candle to Alex Steinweiss. With the coffee-table buckling Alex Steinweiss: The Inventor of the Modern Record Cover, TASCHEN gives a hearty high-five to the Columbia Records art director (now 92) who created the concept of cover art in 1940 with Smash Song Hits, a cabaret-jazz LP from Rodgers and Hart. If that weren't enough, Steinweiss - whose swirly lettering and clean, vibrant graphics continue to influence design today - went on to pioneer the folded cardboard record sleeve as we know it. Respect."Nylon, LondonGroßbritannien |
