Michelangelo was commissioned by the Doges, Stubbs by the landed gentry and Hipgnosis by the reprobates of rock 'n' roll. Whatever one may feel about the main vehicle of for their talents – record sleeves and posters – there can be no doubt that they have produced work which is much more than mere packaging. Over the last 12 years they have developed an approach to design and photography that is unique and without precedent, although it has been widely influential. Creating pictures purely from ideas, rather than interpreting what they see around them, the work is consistently new and challenging." The photographers are – Peter Christopherson, Aubrey Powell and Storm Thorgerson. A little creasing of the book corners with rubbing of the book edges and panels stop a hint of fading to the back strip with age toning and a few marks to the text block edges.
