Fans of Hawkwind, Nick Lowe, Ian Dury and Elvis Costello will be familiar with the work of Barney Bubbles, the singularly talented graphic designer behind some of the most iconic album artwork of the 70s and 80s.
Over the course of his career, Bubbles grabbed album covers by the scruff of the neck, artfully manipulating the sleeves to not only amplify and reflect the conceits of the artists involved, but also to work as a canvas for his own artistic vision.
