Another way to link albums could be where the artwork is copied - found an interesting website called 'knock off project'

I am studying Graphic Design at Leeds College of Art. My latest project is Collection 100. I have photographed and categorised 100 albums from my vinyl record collection. I am trying to find interesting links between Vinyl/album art work i.e. graphic designers/photographers and other more tenuous links.

If you know any interesting facts or links about album artwork I would be interested to hear them here.
