Description
|
|
|
|
This is not a study in pop culture, assures collector Tom Hamling; nor is it about kitsch, or really even music, for that matter. This collection of album covers from LPs recorded by celebrities is, rather, a study in the consecration of fame, an examination of the veneration of the C-List. Among the celebrities and pseudo-celebrities here caught indulging in such hubris are Burt Reynolds, Shaquille O'Neal, John Travolta, Eddie Murphy, William Shatner, Alyssa Milano—and don't forget The Ethel Merman Disco Album. The more than 100 examples are accompanied by Hamling's hilarious captions dissecting the albums' artwork and graphic design, as well as the celebrities in question.
