  2. Coast to coast : album cover art from New York to Los Angeles

    Marsh, Graham
    London : Collins & Brown ; New York, N.Y. : Distributed in the United States and Canada by Sterling Pub. Co., 2011.

    Along with Blue Note records, the Prestige, Atlantic, Contemporary and Pacific and Riverside Labels were the chief providers of America's East and West Coast sounds on vinyl. The hard-edged, straight ahead playing of New York's jazz musicians was perfectly reflected in the moody, monochromatic photography, quirky graphics and bold typography of the record covers: the look, like the sound, was intelligent, disciplined and sophisticated. On the West, the bright colours and playful themes expressed the funky sounds of the US's cool, california cool. For the first time ever, Coast to Coast Album Covers brings the two together under one very cool roof.

  3. Denim : from cowboys to catwalks : a visual history of the world's most legendary fabric

    Marsh, Graham
    London : Aurum, 2002.

    Denim links dustbowl cowboys and high fashion models. It is both a symbol of the counterculture and the generator of huge amounts of money. It is a simple fabric, dating back to 18th-century France, which has become a symbol of street credibility and sex appeal. This text is a pictorial exploration of the rich history and culture of this legendary material. It documents the fabric's rise from humble beginnings as workwear in 19th-century America, through its love affair with 1940s Hollywood, its adoption by a rebellious generation of teenagers in the 1950s right up to its subsequent spread throughout a world hungry for this symbol of American cool - to the point where jeans became a substitute for hard currency in countries behind the iron curtain. "Denim" describes the evolution of the denim business, from pioneering brands like Levi's, Lee and Wrangler to its use by high fashion houses such as Alexander McQueen, Vivienne Westwood, Ralph Lauren and Calvin Klein. It features specially commissioned photography of legendary garments usually only seen in the collections of rich international obsessives. Digging deep into the archives, "Denim" delivers many rare pictures in which the fabric lends a gritty glamour to icons such as Robert Mitchum, Marilyn Monroe and Chet Baker. It depicts the material's infiltration of subcultures such as 50s motorcycle rebels, the London mod scene of 1965, Woodstock era youth and LA hip hop. There are personal anecdotes from denim devotees, some famous, some just plain mad. And it concludes with a guide that should enable you to determine whether your latest thrift-store purchase is in fact a vintage rarity that's going to be worth a fortune.
