Johnny Cash: The Complete Columbia Album Collection

There are 63 mini album jackets in this box set. The original LP sleeves we were given to create them were in bad shape. Every cover had to be retouched or rebuilt from scratch. Sony went to the extra expense of recreating covers that had special features, like gatefolds or printing on foil to make this collection extra special.

 Watch the video below to see samples of this work.

At San Quentin

In this booklet we were able to add behind-the-scenes photos to the more often published images of this famous 1969 televised concert. This is the concert where the iconic "flipping the bird" photo was taken.

At Folsom Prison

This album was recorded a year before At San Quentin and includes his career making recording of Folsom Prison Blues.

There were so many great behind-the-scenes photos taken by Jim Marshall that the stacks of photos themselves inspired the visual theme for this booklet, presenting the images as if they were at the top of a pile.
