Ronald Clyne at Folkways
Being an avid collector of records, I’m looking forward to getting my hands on Unit Editions most recent release.
From the website:” Ronald Clyne at Folkways is a 64 page ‘newspaper’ devoted to designer Ronald Clyne’s record covers for the Folkways label. Ronald Clyne (1925 – 2006) designed over 500 album covers for Folkways and is largely responsible for the famous label’s striking visual appearance. His distinctive use of two-color printing on matte paper and his deft use of modernist design strategies, created a body of work that gave the Folkways label its distinctive aroma of integrity and purity.”

That Raimon cover is very similar to Miles Davis’s Miles Smiles, released in 1967. Did Ronald Clyne also do covers for Columbia?

I was interested in this publication after reading about it on Grain Edit. I ordered a copy and received it a few weeks back. Have been meaning to drop a line about how pleased I am with it. I’ve been collecting vinyl for many years and, in addition to collecting particular bands, I have an interest in certain labels and artistic styles. I have a new found appreciation for the Folkways label. Was at a music sale recently and picked up a Pete Seeger Folkways album. Very exciting.
