Classic rock album covers

Is it illegal to make copies of album covers and sell as art? I have made some really cool wall art ( I dont know what else to call it ) and my friends always want me to do their favorite old lps for them to put in their home, listening rooms and even their offices.

Is there such a thing as free domain after a period of years? Are most of these people even alive ( remember it was mostly the 70's) or does it go back to the evil empires ...the record lables. Would this infringe on copywrite laws?

I have a 60k color printer and access to all paper stocks for a really impressive look ...

Give me some advice

this one's easy. roxy music: "country life" ; blind faith:
"blind faith."

BTW, it is indeed illegal to sell copyrighted works in whatever form
subject to the common law or statutory protection absent the written
consent of the holder thereof.

Remember Poco, the 70's country rock band? Timothy B. Schmidt, their bass player/singer went on to the Eagles. Several of Poco's album covers were designed by the late, great Phil Hartmann of Saturday Night Live and stand-up comedy fame. Before he got into comedy, he was a graphic artist in LA.
