The World Record Club pty. ltd.,was a mail-order record distributor of mainly classical music, but also show tunes and jazz, and later Aussie bands such as the Seekers and Johnny Farnham. The company was originally set up in England in the late 1950s then an Australian division was set up and housed at 330 Flinders lane, Melbourne. The in-house art department was headed by Geoff Digby who directed and encouraged a constant influx of in-house and freelance designers, typographers, illustrators, photographers and artists to create exciting new sleeves for over 2000 releases.
Geoff Digby's design studio was possibly the first of it's kind in Australia, and it helped develop the fledgling profession of the Graphic Designer.
