Playback: Art of the Album Sleeve
Dive into the stories behind your favourite album covers!
‘Playback: Art of the Album Sleeve’, which runs from 5 June to 24 August, will see more than 100 iconic album covers displayed in the Castle’s Victorian Prison.
The collection celebrates the art that has graced era-defining albums from the 1940s to the present day, including The Beatles’ Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band (1967), Duran Duran’s Rio (1982), Black Country, New Road’s Ants From Up There (2022), and many more.
Visitors will also have the chance to hear the leading designers behind the covers share their inspirations, in an exclusive film featuring Farrow Design (Pet Shop Boys), Malcolm Garrett (Buzzcocks/Duran Duran), and Stylorouge (Blur/George Michael).
Entry to the Playback exhibition is free for annual pass holders and included in the price of a Castle day ticket.
