Magnum Photos

Magnum Photos is an international photography cooperative that was founded in Paris in 1947 by the photographers Robert Capa, David "Chim" Seymour, Henri Cartier-Bresson, George Rodger, William Vandivert, Rita Vandivert and Maria Eisner. The idea behind the agency was born out of the desire to gain control over the copyrights of their photographs. Today the cooperative has offices in New York, London, Tokyo and Paris. In this special collection you will find a selection of covers that were photographed and signed by Magnum photographers such as Elliott Erwitt, Martin Parr, Thomas Hoepker, Bruce Gilden and Bruno Barbey.

Who Put Up The Bump

The rock music fanzine Who Put Up The Bump was created by the music historian Greg Shaw and his wife Suzy. The title of the magazine was inspired by Barry Mann's doo-wop hit from 1961. The first edition was published in 1970 and stood out for its unique writing style that differed greatly from the mainstream music magazines at the time. Later the title was shortened to Bomp! The last edition came out in 1979 and Greg transformed his passion into the music label Bomp! Records. Several copies of the magazine can be found here in this collection.

Record Collector

The first issue of record collector was published in 1980. The magazine was founded by the editor Sean O'Mahony, publisher of the Beatle Book, who worked under the name Johnny Dean. The magazine established a unique identity by publishing articles from fans and collectors. Checkout our collection of 80s copies here!

Nina Simone

In the early 1950s Eunice Kathleen Waymon choose the name Nina Simone to play the Devil’s music. Already as a young child she trained to become a classical pianist but this dream was shattered when she was denied entry to the Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia, despite her outstanding talent. This experience later spurred her to later become an important part of the civil rights movement. To make ends meet, she started playing piano in a club in Atlantic City and was told to sing if she wanted to increase her in come. Soon she gained success as an artist and released her first album in 1957.

Chet Baker

Chet Baker was the son of a musician and already started playing the trumpet as a child. He left school as a teenager in 1946 and joined the US army, he was assigned to Berlin where he joined the 298th Army Band. In 1951 he was discharged and began to pursue his music career. Chet started making a name for himself as trumpeter in Gerry Mulligan’s piano-less Quartett which played at The Haig in Los Angeles. He often returned to Europe, was fluent in Italian and even starred in movies. Great talent often comes with a turbulent lifestyle which without a doubt resonates in Chet’s sound. Have a listen..

Cover Art by Keith Haring

Keith Haring began to use the public space in New York City as his canvas in the late 1970s and soon gained international success as an artist for his distinct illustration technique. In 1986 Keith was invited to Berlin by the director of the Check Point Charlie Museum to paint a mural on a section of the border wall. Overnight a large part of Keith’s work had been painted grey, out of protest. Three years later the entire wall came down.
To celebrate Keith’s colourful work we’ve put together a collection of records that feature his art. Our highlight: "Life Is Something Special" by the N.Y.C Peech Boys designed and signed by the amazing Keith Haring himself!
