(1991)
Catalogues like this were early forms of music marketing. They were published regularly to keep consumers updates about new music releases. The cover illustration is far removed from the Christian religious imagery of before. Instead the glamorous figures embody the flapper girls of the Jazz Age - young women living an independent urban life.
