Alex Steinweiss’ Greatest Hit
I was contacted by a gentleman yesterday about the value of this particular album cover (and records), which is said to be Alex Steinweiss's first cover for Columbia Records in 1938. Alex Steinwess, a then 23 years old designer, convinced Columbia’s suits to create the first true album cover. Until then, 78s were sold in generic brown paper sleeves.
I did some research and found this site that adds information about this historic album cover, (http://tinyurl.com/2835va)
but does not mention what it is worth today. Anyone know how much this album is worth?
