More Album Cover Art by Brad Johannsen

More Album Cover Art by Brad Johannsen
Here are scans / photos of two album covers for the 'Michael Quatro Jam Band', done by artist Brad Johannsen. Paintings was released in 1972 by Evolution / Stereo Dimension records, and Look Deeply into the Mirror in 1973, also on Evolution.

More Johannsen art is available here, here, here, and here.

These are jpeg files of about 1.5 MB each; while I can capture the covers as tiffs, those files are > 16 MB and I can't post them to this website without taking a long, long time for them to load. But hopefully these jpeg scans give a sense of Johanssen's approach to incorporating psychedelic themes into commercial artwork.

As for Michael Quatro, he was born in 1943 in Detroit; his younger sister is the singer Suzi Quatro ('Stumblin' In', 1978). As a composer and keyboardist, Quatro has released 11 albums, starting in 1972 with Paintings. Some of his songs and albums are available on Youtube.
