Maps on Vinyl

This book is an atlas by cartographer Damien Saunder. It collects over 400 album covers that include maps in their artwork. The covers span different music genres and decades, featuring artists such as Queen, Madonna, and Bob Marley. The work examines how a map functions in cover design: it reinforces a lyrical story, expresses a political view, or establishes the geography of the music or the band.

The volume is a resource for fans of music, records, and design. It organizes the collection to show the variety of map styles used on album covers. The book includes designs from sketches to street grids. This compilation documents a link between music, art, and cartography, providing a view of visual communication in record packaging.

Proceeds from the book are being donated to Support Act, an Australian music charity helping musicians and their crew.
