The Astromusical Record series #1

In 1969 GWP Records from New York City launched a special series for people interested in popular astrology as a kind of science. The world renowned astrologer Carrol Righter wrote 12 long articles on each sign of the zodiac and published them inside lavishly packaged gatefold albums with fashionable models in specially made outfits for signs like aries, libra, scorpio and gemini. The dresses and suits were designed by Oscar De La Renta, the coiffures by Paul Mitchell for Henri Bendel, the photography was done by Francesco Scavullo and the package design was made by art director Bob Cato. Each album had two different pictures, one on the inside of the gatefold. The 11-page booklet by Carroll Righter was pasted on the right half of the inner gatefold.

And what about the music? Orchestral tunes and hits of the 1960’s era, produced by Paul Robinson and arranged and conducted by Ed Bland. Nothing special really, but The Astromusical Series lives up to the truly great packaging design, typical of the late sixties
