Dolly Parton: Heartbreak Express Original Artist's Proof of Album Cover Art

Item Number: NVPR-1871
Time Left: CLOSED
Description
Going all the way to #5 on the Country LP Charts "Heartbreak Express" returned Dolly Parton to her roots in country music after a series of hugely successful pop records in the late '70's and early '80's. The album is a treasure of wonderful Dolly material (Dolly wrote eight of the ten tracks) and spawned two Top 10 hits: "Single Women", not written by her, but the single would inspire a made-for- TV movie and the Dolly-penned "Heartbreak Express".
This album cover includes both the front and the back and is a 4th proof!
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.
