Wooten and his community of record-collector friends have discovered these in used record bins over the course of several years.

Bloodshot eyes, blackened teeth, mustaches, tattoos, reviews, love letters, collage, and pornographic and psychedelicized embellishment adorn these record covers by Elvis, the Beatles, Frank Zappa, Jimi Hendrix, John Coltrane, Yoko Ono, Nina Simone, Led Zeppelin, Sparks, LL Cool J., David Bowie, The Velvet Underground, Mose Allison, Prince, Tim Buckley, Neil Young, and many, many more can be found here in this fabulous new release from J&L Books edited by publisher Jason Fulford in a way that highlights various connections and humor between the covers.".
