Typical Guide Page

Typical Guide Page (July 2002)
Writer: Sal Manna




A page appears in the Guide for every album or video released by Warner Bros. Records and its associated labels. Each page contains as much information as is available at press time to introduce the record or video to the trade: personnel, producers, featured tracks, format(s), a song list, artist discography, and a mini of the cover -- plus barcodes and prices. Additionally, there's pertinent info about the artists and producers, tours, merchandising, and so forth.

I realize it's ridiculous to represent a predominately typographic page with a 300 x 400-pixel image. I've completely relinquished the notion that anything but the artist name and title might be legible here, and hope only that this extremely low-res offering might give you the least idea of the way the pages are organized. If you'd like to see a copy of the actual publication, contact me.
