The Age of Atlantic


The Age of Atlantic is the second in a series of rock music samplers released by the Atlantic label in the UK. The compilation is credited to Janet Martin. Issued at a budget price of UK £0.99, the album was for many an inexpensive introduction to new rock acts and was one of the earliest samplers of "progressive" or "underground" music.
The gatefold's front was a photo of a display modelled in plasticine showing the logos or punning representations of the featured bands, the album covers being depicted on the interior. The back features a photo of the track listing scratched into a flattened layer of plasticine. The design is credited to Hamish & Gustav.
