War feat. Eric Burdon – Love Is All Around album art
Love Is All Around is a compilation of tracks recorded by Eric Burdon and War, but not released during the band’s brief existence (1969–1971). The album, released in 1976 on ABC Records, contains tracks written by War/Burdon, plus cover versions of “A Day in the Life” from The Beatles and “Paint It Black” from The Rolling Stones.
The album concept is by band member Lee Oskar, and presents the cover as the frontpage of a “WAR Extra, Vol. 1” of the Good Times, with “all the news that fits, we print”. The idea of record cover as newspaper was previously explored by S. Neil Fujita for Dave Brubeck at Storyville in 1954.
Design by Hollywood-based design studio Gribbit Studios, with the obligatory blackletter (Fette Fraktur) for the nameplate, a tight-setting bold condensed (Anzeigen-Grotesk) for the main headline, some Futura version for second-level headings, and Century Expanded for text.
