Miles Davis Album Art

Having just completed my album collection of Miles Davis in iTunes, I was looking at all the albums in grid view and realized how beautiful every cover of Davis's albums were.

I guess I had never noticed how stunning the art on Miles Davis's albums were. Especially never seeing them all laid out together, it was really overwhelming. Each album seems to be unique and timeless. The art really does a great job of being true to the time of the album and the feeling of the music on the album. I have been leaving iTunes open all day with Miles albums all arranged next to each other just for inspiration. I am going to be digging into more of the history of each album and the individual artist's themselves. Enjoy.

UPDATE: Found the definative collection of Blue Note album art : http://www.gokudo.co.jp/Record/BlueNote4/index.htm

Big thanks to Kai in the comments for these recommendations. Didn't have Big Fun in my collection, it is really well done.

We saw this on another site and had to link to it - we've always loved Miles Davis, but sadly, most of our experience has been through digital downloads...

Wondering what happened to your horizontally scrolling blog, did you take it down?
I was really loving it ...do you have it archived somewhere?
