Original Artist's proof from the 1979 album Night Rider from Venus Dodson.

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.
