Point idea
Are album covers relevant enough to be important for an artist anymore?

In those days album covers were very important to the person who bought them, because there wasn’t MTV, there weren’t music videos, there wasn’t the saturation of Youtube or any other available source to learn about your favourite rock n roll star. So an album was very important. You’d buy an album and scour the cover while playing it, looking for clues as to what made those artists tick. We latched onto that early on, by including lyrics, by including postcards, posters and little clues.
in a way it has always been there (artistic expression) they just has to work within a smaller frame of creativity has there wasn't many other ways of expressing etc... so in a way album artwork meant a lot more back in the day compared to now as it was part of only a few ways an artist could express themselves visually.
