Eric Haze
Whilst researching a forthcoming project I discovered just how many seminal hip-hop logo's have been designed by Eric Haze.
From his biography: Born and raised in New York City, Eric Haze has been making his impact felt in the worlds of art, product and graphic design for over 30 years. After spending the early 80's on the front lines of the downtown New York art scene, Haze opened his design studio in 1986, becoming one of the first visual artists to define the look and graphic language of Hip Hop during it's golden years. Some of his most classic works include designs for Public Enemy, EPMD, LL Cool J, and the Beastie Boys.

House Sleeves
More lovely record sleeves I fondly remember from '88 including work from The Designers Republic and Trevor Jackson. In many ways my first introduction to design.
Main Artery
Whilst flicking through the racks of a soho record shop recently I came across bit of a blast from the past, 'The Hits of House', takes me right back to the late 80's when I was buying my first records. I very rarely buy a record purely for the sleeve but did this time, not that the music is bad, far from it. How could you resist a record with S-Express, Nitro Deluxe, Bomb the Bass and The Wee Papa Girl Rappers all in one place? The sleeve is by Main Artery and turns out they've designed an enormous amount of record sleeves over the last 25 years, including most of the late 80's Stock, Aitken & Waterman output. More here.

Kirby Collage
Finally found a few more examples of Jack Kirby incorporating collage into his work. These are from issues of The Fantastic Four (1963-1967)
More on Kirby's collages at this post here.

Handmade Record Sleeves
I found these lovely handmade record sleeves at the now sadly defunct 'Jack the Ripper' Car Boot Sale at the Bishopsgate Goods Yard in Shoreditch many moons ago. They've been stored in a box for ages and thought I'd share.
