With vinyl growing in popularity, an Isle of Wight author has collated some of the record industry's more unusual offerings, ahead of his book launch later this month (May).
101 Terrible Record Sleeves by Michael Sumner will be unveiled at Ventnor Exchange, Church Street, between 12-6pm, on May 21.
He said: "Through years of record digging in some far out lands...I have found some of the worst examples of sleeve design.
"Here they are presented, for your shock and amusement, like some Victorian carnival."
Covers in the book include: A picture of a purple and white striped Cheshire cat with a human's face on it - designed for the album Pussycats Can Go Far, by Buzzy Linhart; and the classic Black Lace single Agadoo.
