Description

Vapour Trails was one of those jazzy rock albums from the late 1970s that just seemed to slip through the cracks. It was produced by Larry Carlton. It features some guest performances by Bill Champlin, Mel Collins, Dave Benoit & Tom Scott. Nothing special, just a nice little album fans have been asking for.


 


In a world of digital downloads, the art of the album cover has been lost. But from the 1950s to the 1980s, album cover art was both a marketing tool and an expression of artistic intent.


 


The artist's proofs were typically destroyed once the album went to print. However, a few were salvaged and now considered to be collectors items. They are truly one-of-a-kind.
