Album covers of Blue Note Records
- ... that some of the album covers of Blue Note Records feature illustrations by a then-unknown Andy Warhol?
- Source: Cook, Richard (2003). Blue Note Records: The Biography. Boston: Justin, Charles & Co. p. 129. "The artist in question, Andy Warhol, had already done a couple of Blue Note sleeves - Johnny Griffin's shirt-bedecked The Congregation..."Adams, Owen (10 August 2009). "Label of love: Blue Note". The Guardian. "Reid Miles's striking cover designs (a pre-famous Andy Warhol also designed a few)..."
- ALT1: ... that despite not being a fan of jazz, designer Reid Miles created hundreds of album covers for Blue Note Records, a jazz record label?
- Source: Cook, Richard (2003). Blue Note Records: The Biography. Boston: Justin, Charles & Co. p. 88. "Miles wasn't particularly interested in jazz, and professed to being much more of a classical music fan."L.A. Times writer (12 February 1993). "Reid Miles; Designed Album Covers, TV Ads". Los Angeles Times. "Miles established his New York reputation by creating about 400 album covers for Blue Note."Hinckley, David (15 December 2005). "Oozing cool: that Blue Note look". New York Daily News. p. 43. "...once Miles was hired, he did everything 500-plus LPs over the next 11 years."
- Reviewed:
- Comment: Including two disagreeing sources for ALT1 because there seems to be no consensus on how many covers Miles designed, other that they are in the multiple hundreds. I am personally more drawn to ALT1 than I am the original hook, given that the original cannot be supplemented by free-use images. Feel free to alter the hooks as well.

Overall: Hi Joey! came here after finding this article from discord. Sources look good, with reliable sources and authors with good creds. Spotchecked a few of them (refer to Special:PermanentLink/1229691544), [3] [13], [33], [69] and found no issues with plagiarism or verifiability (although I would tone down with the quotations if you want to bring it to GA). No need for a QPQ. Wrt hookiness, I don't really vibe with both hooks - the second is wordy, and the first depends on whether people know Andy Warhol. Perhaps you can spin a hook from the third paragraph of the lead? PSA 🏕️🪐 (please make some noise...) 01:25, 20 June 2024 (UTC)
- Hi PSA - thank you for the review! I agree with your point that ALT0 requires prior knowledge, though I'm not sure that I agree ALT1 is wordy other than the usage of the word "jazz" twice. As a replacement, how about the following:
- ALT1a: ... that despite not being a jazz fan, designer Reid Miles created hundreds of album covers for Blue Note Records?
- Perhaps that's more concise? I also took your suggestion of spinning a hook from the third paragraph:
- ALT2: ... that the album covers of Blue Note Records have been considered to be the "look" of jazz?
- ALT2: ... that the album covers of Blue Note Records have been considered to be the "look" of jazz?
- ...or some other variation? Let me know what you think. For your point regarding quotations, I am assuming you mean the quotations in the reception section, but please correct me if I'm wrong. I'll get to reducing the quotation usage as soon as I can. Thanks again! joeyquism (talk) 02:14, 20 June 2024 (UTC)
