Platters 7"

The Platters - The Great Pretender b/w Only You (1958, Mercury Records). One-of-a-kind 7” sleeve created with 70 pieces of cut paper and a laser printer.

Set in Goliath on the front, with Alte Haas Grotesk on the back. I used a bit more of an illustrative approach than I normally would for this one, but I wanted to try something new for one of my all time favorite songs. The moons are sourced from a vintage farmer almanac and I felt that their faces mirrored the song’s lyrics.

Aretha Franklin

Aretha Franklin - Trouble in Mind b/w God Bless that Child (1962, Columbia) One-of-a-Kind 7” Sleeve, cut card-stock processed through a laser printer.

Set in ITC Pioneer and Alte Haas Grotesk. Partially inspired by one of my all-time favorite sleeves, Thee Oh Sees Carrion Crawler / The Dream by Elzo, this cover in an interpretation of the songs lyrics “I’ve got trouble in mind, yes I’m blue, but I won’t be blue always."

Prince 7"

Prince and the Revolution - “Kiss” b/w “♥ or $” (1986, Paisley Park). One-of-kind 7” sleeve made with cut black, white, and neon purple car stock and the help of my trusty laser printer.

This sleeve is set in Impact with a little Helvetica on the back for good measure. The image is sourced from Parade/Under the Cherry Moon era promo shots.

Chuck Berry Sleeve

Chuck Berry - No Particular Place To Go b/w You Two (1964, Chess Records). One-of-a-kind sleeve for coverless 7” record from my collection. Created with a laser printer and cut card-stock.

This sleeve design is inspired by the classic covers Alvin Lustig designed for New Directions Press in the 1940s. Set in Futura with extra thickness added for the mid-century touch.

Louie Louie Sleeve

The Kingsmen - Louie Louie b/w Haunted Castle (1963, Wand Records).One-of-a-Kind 7” Sleeve, cut card-stock through a laser printer.

Set in Eames Century, Solaris, and Helvetica. A very recognizable tune coupled with a very unreadable sleeve. This design started with the warped sunburst I created and I experimented with different ways to integrate the typography.
