Dian Hanson's Sexy Record Covers is a comprehensive visual history of provocative album artwork spanning decades of music history. Through carefully curated covers from jazz to rock to disco, Hanson reveals how sex has been used to sell music and how album art became a space for erotic expression. The collection becomes both music history and cultural document, celebrating how visual artists and photographers transformed record covers into erotic art.

WHY WE PICKED IT: Because Hanson understands that album covers are art history and that sex and music have always been inseparable. This collection reminds us that the most interesting cultural artifacts are often the ones designed to be disposable, and that commercial art can be genuinely provocative.
