Ever seen a record sleeve so strange you couldn’t believe it was real?
Join author and designer Simon Robinson for a fascinating and entertaining illustrated talk exploring the weird, wonderful and sometimes baffling world of vinyl record cover design.
Based on his book The Art of the Bizarre Vinyl Sleeve, the talk features some of the most extraordinary, hilarious and downright puzzling album covers ever produced. Drawn from the remarkable collection of vinyl enthusiast Steve Goldman, these sleeves reveal a side of music history that is rarely seen — and often impossible to forget.
Simon will share the stories behind these unforgettable images, the designers and record labels that created them, and the cultural moments that made them possible.
Expect nostalgia, surprises, and plenty of laughter as we dive into one of the strangest corners of pop culture.
🎧 Perfect for:
• Vinyl collectors
• Music fans
• Design lovers
• Anyone who enjoys the wonderfully odd side of pop culture
