The best part about Francis, man, that dude caught musicians being human. He’d be around with his camera shooting and they’d pick a shot for the cover.
Back then, they’d throw white women on Black musician’s album so that they would be more appealing to white audiences.

There’s a tweet going around that says something like “are there any Black planets we could move to?”
Pick your psychedelic vice then listen to that Sextant album and you just might go there.

While we’re here talking about album artwork and folks are interested in history, please start reading liner notes and production credits for your favorite records. @discogs is a great source for that information, especially during the streaming age.
This is just my two cents:
With all of the capabilities that digital work allows artist to do, I’m surprised that interactive album artwork isn’t the standard yet.

I’m probably wrong on this but Lloyd Banks was the first artist that I remember releasing his artwork as a gif. As simple as it seems now, at the time that shit blew my mind.
I know that Spotify started doing some cool shit with the app a few years ago. If you have it, go play John Coltrane’s Both Dorections At Once. This was the first time I had seen streaming services add visualizations to the music while it was playing. https://open.spotify.com/track/7aGpjo6SB59tpTiMlD1uvL?si=1gN84FxvQGeaIphT8KhIiQ">https://open.spotify.com/track/7aG...
Tidal caught up this year, too.
This is from a few years ago. We were testing things out for a record never came out. We we’re trying to figure out how to make things interactive but still human within these digital platforms.
Daniel Hastings on photography. For the 90s hip-hop fans, peep dude’s resume. It’s STEEP.
