'60s and '70s Asian Pop Record Covers

Album covers offer a unique window into the history of music. The cardboard slabs were bold, big, and quite often, beautiful. We've seen plenty of arguments about which LP cases are the all-time best, but the debate is largely limited to vinyl available in the U.S. One look at this fascinating site of vintage Asian album covers might inspire a few music fans to reconsider their beliefs. Cool cases proliferated in Singapore and throughout Southeast Asia during the flamboyant '60s and '70s. For proof, check out the trippy Idaly Sisters, the far-out look of Ismail Haron, or the swingin' dudes known as The Quests. You'll also encounter a Beatles tribute, plenty of bad hair, and a few brash statements. So long! Ding dong! The groovy vibes of these classic covers will leave you strummin' a happy tune all day long.
