There's something about seeing a vinyl in your hands that brings back specific memories, emotions, and lyrics. Music is personal to everyone. Stephen Wilson took this category even more personal by reminiscing where his career started, in a rock band based out of NJ in the 80s. Who knew that many years later, he would be embracing the subject of music within his new artwork.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis collection took the longest to even start! There was so much to consider. Every album has its own design. Some album covers featured iconic images (Abbey Road by The Beatles), some feature iconic artists (designs by Andy Warhol), and others were labeled as controversial at the time (Nevermind by Nirvana). \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe following pieces of work feature 1 artist's proof and 8 editions, making the series limited and even more special than previous works. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e*Please note all albums are made to order, for availability and shipping times please contact the studio at \u003ca data-behavior=\"truncate\" class=\"autolinked\" href=\"mailto:studio@stephenwilsonstudio.com\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" target=\"_blank\" data-mce-href=\"mailto:studio@stephenwilsonstudio.com\"\u003estudio@stephenwilsonstudio.com\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2021-05-04T17:03:22-04:00","sort_order":"manual","template_suffix":"","disjunctive":false,"rules":[{"column":"tag","relation":"equals","condition":"Albums"},{"column":"variant_price","relation":"greater_than","condition":"0"}],"published_scope":"global","image":{"created_at":"2021-06-25T10:53:15-04:00","alt":"","width":1200,"height":1672,"src":"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0065\/3069\/5257\/collections\/thealbums4.jpg?v=1624632934"}},{"id":261510496345,"handle":"online-store","title":"Online Store","updated_at":"2021-09-18T20:30:35-04:00","body_html":"","published_at":"2021-06-16T22:13:28-04:00","sort_order":"created-desc","template_suffix":"","disjunctive":false,"rules":[{"column":"type","relation":"equals","condition":"Online Store"},{"column":"variant_price","relation":"greater_than","condition":"0"},{"column":"type","relation":"not_equals","condition":"Artwork"},{"column":"type","relation":"not_equals","condition":"Commissions"},{"column":"tag","relation":"equals","condition":"retail-new"}],"published_scope":"global"},{"id":90895253593,"handle":"all-products","title":"Shop All","updated_at":"2021-09-18T20:30:35-04:00","body_html":"","published_at":"2019-01-23T10:33:37-05:00","sort_order":"created-desc","template_suffix":"product-collection-template","disjunctive":false,"rules":[{"column":"variant_inventory","relation":"greater_than","condition":"0"},{"column":"variant_price","relation":"greater_than","condition":"0"},{"column":"type","relation":"equals","condition":"Online Store"},{"column":"type","relation":"not_equals","condition":"Artwork"},{"column":"type","relation":"not_equals","condition":"Commissions"}],"published_scope":"global","image":{"created_at":"2019-01-28T15:13:45-05:00","alt":null,"width":1000,"height":1001,"src":"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0065\/3069\/5257\/collections\/SWL0309_Orange_Drip_Aqua.jpg?v=1548706426"}}]

I remember my father having this album in his record collection along with Woodstock, Frank Sinatra, Elvis and The Beach Boys. After meeting with other collectors, they shared that their Fathers all had this album too. I don’t know if it was Herb Alpert’s trumpet or the woman covered only in whipped cream that caused 6 million dads to buy this album in 1965. Either way, once you listen to it you will be reminded of the 60’s. The songs from this album were featured on game shows like the dating game and the bachelorette. Herb Alpert is an amazing artist as much as the is a musician so it was with much respect that I decided to have some fun with this album cover. I recreated the whipped cream with multiple layers of yarn that was stitched directly through the album. The groovy title and song listings were created as a patch and collaged onto the album.
