Funk & Soul Covers (Bibliotheca Universalis) (Multilingual Edition)

Book is small. 6”x8”Pictures are grainy.Not much written information regarding each album cover. Book is written in multiple languages, so it appears at first glance that there is a lot of information. No table of contents or index. Not organized chronologically.

I immediately had heart eyes when I opened this book. It's packed with all of my favorite classic soul and funk album covers, including obscure selections paired with great interviews and info. Perfectly bounded with excellent quality printing. I'm buying a few more as gifts :) The BEST book I've ever owned. - Noel

Yes the measurements are listed but this book is tiny! Not coffee table book material. The album cover concept would've been a hit with a bigger size and quality photos

What a great book! The music inside of those covers, was also beautiful!

This book really took me back, loved reminiscing as I looked at the covers. The info giving the year and other details was nice as well.

This is the holy book for vinyl heads and old school hip hop d.j.s find out where the samples for some favorite hip hop anthems came from

Great book and a must have.

Excellent

This book is good but not a comprehensive collection of Funk and Soul record covers. There are a number of key album covers that I expected to see inside but they are not there. There are some iconic albums from bands that became gateways to many other soul bands that are not included such as Switch, The Ohio players and Slave. Instead there are some that are expected because they are the later work of artists and are more commercial and renowned, so there are more than two Earth Wind and Fire albums, Phyllis Hyman's You know how to love me album is displayed but her earlier albums such as Groove with you is not here. I would love to see another version of this book that is more conclusive of Soul and Funk.

A passion for music and a love of album art goes hand in hand. This a brilliant book and superb way to explore Funk.and Soul, especially if you are venturing into uncharted territory. My recommendation for a lazy day off is this book lots of tea or coffee and a subscription music service so you can listen, and learn as you feast on the eye candy

Great reference book with excellent photos of album covers. Any funk/soul vinyl junkie will love this book. A great price too.

I love it all.

Would make a great gift for someone who his into this genre. Perfect condition and prompt delivery. Thank you!
