Ci rivediamo come sempre nell’anno nuovo, iniziando lucidandoci gli occhi con le copertine dei dischi più belle dell’anno trascorso. Bisogna dire che anche nel 2023, gli artisti o i grafici hanno avuto delle idee straordinarie nel creare immagini veramente interessanti, tutto questo per dimostrare che il “vinile” è il supporto ideale nell’unire arte più arte, e la sua bellezza esiste anche per questo.
