Leave A Light - Precious Wilson + Eruption

1

Released in 1979, Precious Wilson + Eruption – Leave a Light captures the polished energy of late disco. The cover features a dramatic studio portrait of Precious Wilson set against a dark background, with bold, shiny lettering that reflects the era’s love of nightlife and glamour.

This album art shows how late-70s album covers leaned into star-focused photography and strong typography to market artists as icons. It’s a clear example of how disco-era design blended commercial photography and graphic layout to shape pop music’s visual identity.
