World's First Album Cover (1938): Smash Song Hits by Rodgers and Hart
Before Alex Steinweiss, then a 23-year-old designer, invented album covers in 1938 for Columbia Records, albums were sold in plain brown wrappers.
The album "Smash Song Hits by Rodgers and Hart" was the very first album cover in the world.
