(Preface) 'In the Groove is the first pictorial history of album cover art of the 1940s and '50s, an era in which swing, big band, jazz, popular, classical, and Latin styles all flourished. Tour the vintage landscape of 1940s 78s and 1950s LPs with the sensational album covers included here-more than 250 in all. Louis Armstrong, Desi Arnaz, Count Basie, the Budapest String Quartet, Doris Day, Miles Davis, Benny Goodman, Billie Holiday, Frank Sinatra, and Igor Stravinsky are just the beginning. Some albums are well-known classics, others are rare collector's items and seldom-seen issues from Columbia, RCA Victor, Decca, Capitol, and other major labels. Many feature original illustrations of the time, as photographs had not yet become the medium of choice.'
