Iconic images like the <i>Abbey Road</i> crosswalk are deeply inscribed in our collective memory, but we know few details about the photographer of the image. All of these and more are included in this compendium of electrifying images and the albums they grace. <i>Total Records</i> reveals the artists behind some of the most striking images on vinyl sleeves and takes us on a journey through the cultural history of the twentieth century."
