The soundtrack of generations.

Ray Charles. Aretha Franklin. John Coltrane. The Rolling Stones. Led Zeppelin. Stevie Nicks. Cher. AC/DC. Stone Temple Pilots. Bruno Mars. And somehow, that's barely scratching the surface.

Founded in New York in 1947, Atlantic Records became one of the most influential labels in music history, moving through jazz, R&B, soul, rock, disco, hip-hop, pop, and just about everything in between.

75 Years of Atlantic Records tells that story through extraordinary photography, album artwork, archival documents, correspondence, and ephemera from the label's history. The result is less a corporate history than a visual history of modern music itself, filled with the artists, sounds, and moments that shaped generations.

This is exactly why we wanted it in the Poppy Lane Library. You start by looking for the musicians you love. Then you find someone you'd forgotten about. Then someone you didn't realize recorded for Atlantic. And suddenly you've been flipping through it for an hour.
