No Limit album covers were consistently bad, but old school jazz albums on the other hand......

Also this is where i got most of the covers: Vintage Vanguard ジャズレコード館. They have many more if you want to look.

keep in mind, a lot if not all of those jazz albums didn't use photoshop. Just a camera, a darkroom, some filters and some typography.

While we are on jazz, here are some live performances:

 

[George's Dilemma]

Bump this thread. Listening to Tenor Conclave right now. Album cover is dope too.

 

[King Kai]

Horace Silver - Original PAAG Hunter

 

[Grand Eeezus Maxwell]

Salute. Saved me the trouble of remembering where Foreign Exchange got the idea for theirs:

 

[Amestafuu (Emeritus)]

i love both for very different reasons

i don't

pen and pixel was an amateur design label that raped master p's pockets because he didn't know any better. they would mash up horrible stock images with no design language understanding. but they was some square white boys in suits, so they had to know what they were doing right?

hell they even have a mini doc bragging about it (that time period) and the open budgets they had as a go to design firm for those horrible covers.

the definition of white privilege. a novice with a basic computer could have did the same for P but he didn't know any better. celebrate that... those images cost hundreds of thousands
