They created covers for some of the biggest names out there including Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Peter Gabriel, Black Sabbath, Genesis, etc… For the Love of Vinyl is the first book to document their work, and includes a total of 60 album covers with in depth information covering each phase from brainstorming to the final product.
