Blue Note Records has often been the subject of Friday Album Covers, but Blue Note was not the only label creating beautiful album art during the 1950s and 1960s. Below are two of my favorite covers from
Prestige Records, which produced plenty of great hard bop albums by Miles Davis, Sonny Rollins, and Thelonious Monk, among many others.
Saxophone Colossus very much resembles the
Blue Note Special, except the image of Rollins looks more like a silhouette than a tinted black-and-white photo.
Featuring a crisp image of a stoplight with clean typography,
Walkin' is distinctive much in the same way so many Blue Note albums were.
