World's First Album Cover

Posted by Alex in Music, World Records on February 19, 2008 at 6:14 am


Before Alex Steinweiss, then a 23-year-old designer, invented album covers for Columbia Records, albums were sold in plain brown wrappers.

The album to the left, "Smash Song Hits by Rodgers and Hart," was the very first album cover in the world.
