He did quite a lot of LP covers, and without a shadow of doubt, those square pix were a huge incentive to think Rollei and Hasselblad. Even if his were maybe originated on Nikon.

That cover art was often quite fantastic, and sometimes the best reason of all for buying the disc.

Rob,

I've bought many a disc based on the cover art...and judged many a book by it's cover as well.
