@75 Series
Following on from the success of Bowie@75 we were comissioned by US publishing giants Quarto to design a further 3 books in the @75 series. Alice Cooper, Elton John and Ozzy Osbourne.
Each book featured a printed paper over board heavy construction construction slip case with debosiing and foil blocking. Large format collectors books featured 208+ pages with gatefolds, fold outs, timelines and posters. Our Elton John book even received an online endorsement from David Furnish.
Ozzy @75
This unique and beautifully produced book, explore the outrageous history of the godfather of heavy metal through 75 career accomplishments and life events. Black Sabbath, “Crazy Train,” one alleged unfortunate bat…Ozzy Osbourne is widely considered the founder of heavy metal, an artist whose outlandish off- and onstage antics and songcraft have spanned the entirety of the genre. In Ozzy at 75, veteran rock journalist Daniel Bukszpan celebrates and examines the “Prince of Darkness” through the lens of 75 milestones.
Ozzy, Alice Cooper and Elton John at 75 were all finalist for Scottish Design Awards Best in Print 2023/24.
Elton John @75
A unique and beautifully produced celebration of the iconic and beloved rock star, Elton at 75 features a slipcased hardcover with a gatefold timeline, gatefold artwork, frameable pull-out gig poster, and a pull-out photo print. Few rock artists continue to gather more and more adulation with age. Sir Elton Hercules John is an exception who proves the rule. In Elton John at 75, veteran rock journalist Gillian Gaar presents a unique and beautifully produced celebration of the iconic and beloved rock star, examining Sir Elton through the lens of 75 career accomplishments and life events. Key studio albums are featured, of course, as are a curated selection of his earworm singles. But Gaar delves deeper to reveal the events that helped chart the course of Elton’s career.
Alice Cooper @75
In this exquisitely produced book, experience the extraordinary life and career of the original “shock rocker” through 75 key releases and events. Pythons, guillotines, stage blood…Alice Cooper is widely considered the godfather of shock rock thanks to his inventive concoction of vaudeville, horror film conceits, and three-chord rock ’n’ roll. In Alice Cooper@75, veteran rock journalist Gary Graff shows you this rock icon through the lens of 75 career accomplishments, events, and partnerships.
