David,

There is a book or 2 devoted to his album cover art, but I haven't seen a comprehensive listing online. His early line drawing covers remind me of David Stone Martin's work.

Is there a comprehensive listing of his album covers anywhere? I'm finding 
quite a few "possibles" on early Columbia lps, but some where the style is 
identical to known samples turn out to be by someone named Darrill Connelly. 
Incidentally, that Daphnis album with several Warhol drawings inside is sitting 
on eBay from several dealers who can't give it away. Go figure.
