1949  Andy Warhol   
Lp Cover  
Helen Traubel ‎
"Beethoven Settings Of Irish And Scotch Songs" 

with Trio Accompaniment 

it's an original microgroove 1949 vinyl LP record 
with blue deep groove labels that have silver print. it's mostly
being offered because of its Andy Warhol cover artwork (of his
earliest commercial creations, and one of a handful of LP covers 
Warhol created for Columbia Records between 1949 and 
the Early-1950s).  and while Warhol isn't credited on release 
this has long been attributed to him.  

the album cover itself is still mostly bright, clean and 
displays well with no stickers, writing, cuts, holes or seam splits. 
it does have some typical visible discoloration to its plain white 
background in places (mostly on back) and has other typical light 
visual wear from age, but has no serious issues.  

the record has shiny clean vinyl with some typical visual 
wear but nothing too severe looking.  it's  been fully play tested 
and it plays and sounds okay with no skips, repeats or serious issues 
but it does play with more than average crackle / static. 
its labels are bright, clean and in excellent condition 
with no stickers, writing or serious issues.

Warhol created his first album covers for Columbia Records
in 1949 when Robert Jones, art director at Columbia at the 
time, hired him to come up with artwork for their newly launched 
Masterworks LP format:  “I gave him three little spots to do for the 
corners of the standard albums, at $50 apiece. He needed money. 
I know that these little spots must have been amongst the first things 
he did, certainly in the first three to six months he was here.” 

this led to Warhol working on additional LP covers for Columbia 
between 1949 and the Early-1950s, noted for the use of the blotted line 
technique, one he used throughout the '50s for artistic and practical
reasons.  the primitive print making method involved copying a
drawing from a tracing paper to an absorbent paper, adding ink to 
the drawing and then transferring the ink to the copy.  the process 
resulted in the dotted, broken, and delicate lines that are
characteristic of Warhol’s illustrations.
