{"product_id":"12-sleeves-toni-rubio-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\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Toni Rubio\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 8495951940\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9788495951946\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Actar\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/01\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 360\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.01lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.04h x 6.82w x 1.28d","brand":"Toni Rubio","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44126077387007,"sku":"9788495951946","price":9.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3bdf9a9e-7a54-4f2a-942b-e019789f31fc.jpg?v=1687446157","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/12-sleeves-toni-rubio-9788495951946","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
