A .side B.side is a small, ongoing collection of vinyl packaging design from the shelves of Alina Skyson and Ben Playford.

The idea for A.side B.side came in late 2019 through our mutual curiosity and appreciation for the designers, art directors, photographers, and visual artists behind the records we’ve collected over the years. Although the documented albums represent a small fraction of our collection, each one is a source of joy and creative inspiration.

All documentation images* on this site were taken by Alina Skyson. You are welcome to share the images for non-commercial purposes, provided you credit A.side B.side, link to aside-bside.com or tag @a.side__b.side on Instagram. Please credit the sleeve designer/art director; this information can be found in the liner notes. All copyright for represented albums remains with the copyright owner(s).
