{"product_id":"12-sleeves-disco-graphics-9788495951946","title":"12\" Sleeves: Disco Graphics","description":"As a DJ, Toni Rubio had always wondered if some records got played more just because they looked good. Rubio, now a graphic designer, has selected these hundreds of vinyl maxi-single sleeves--the covers for 12-inch remixed singles--to be reproduced in glossy color for further study and pure enjoyment. The artists range from Grandmaster Flash \u0026amp; the Furious Five, shown on the front of \"The Message\" carrying a boom box and wearing gold chains, to Depeche Mode and Moby, by way of scores of forgotten bands of the 80s whose one good-looking record is having an unexpected second moment in the spotlight. Work is paired for harmony in theme, font and composition, like Sylk 130's \"Last Night a DJ Saved My Life\" and The Reason's \"When the Funk Hits the Fan,\" which share a bull's-eye motif. Engelbert Humperdink and Simply Red's leading man, on the other hand, lounge in studio recliners. References to visual and musical trends of the late twentieth century--pop, minimalism, hardcore, hyperrealism, electronica--will speed readers on a journey through the recent past and replay, with pleasant nostalgia, the soundtrack for some classic audio moments.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Actar","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50857762881810,"sku":"9788495951946","price":7.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_69c7e9b5-be14-4185-9d5c-a5d10c5acb44.jpg?v=1737540685","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/12-sleeves-disco-graphics-9788495951946","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
