The
New York Rocker was the definitive music and culture publication in NYC in the early 1980s. With art direction by Elizabeth van Itallie and photos and photo editing by
Laura Levine, it was also very cool-looking. There's no central online archive for
Rocker covers, although editor/publisher
Andy Schwartz has started a blog of music writing
here. But thanks to Elizabeth van Itallie, we've got some
Rocker covers on the SPD site, and you can see even more
here.
