Taschen Books has just published 75 Years of Atlantic Records, a massive new coffee-table book honoring the record label’s illustrious history. The book, weighing a hefty 11 pounds and measuring 14″ x 14″, features stunning photos by celebrated photographers like Annie Leibovitz, Anton Corbijn, and David LaChapelle, who captured striking images of legendary musicians in the studio and on stage, from music icons like Aretha Franklin, Led Zeppelin, the Rolling Stones, John Coltrane, and Otis Redding, to modern stars like Ed Sheeran, Janelle Monae, Hootie & the Blowfish, Jewel, and Cardi B. Digging into Atlantic Records’ archives, the book offers a visual journey through music history. In addition to the stunning collection of photographs, the book also features essays by award-winning writers like David Ritz, Ben Ratliff, and Barney Hoskyns, with a foreword by Bruno Mars. “The Atlantic crew changed the way records were made and how people heard them,” Mars writes. “It was an explosion in Sound, and it was pure magic.” (Variety)
