So perfect! Well done.

wow! would buy for 30 dollars american on vinyl!

anyone know someone at numero group?

It is really good, Am, but I'd actually keep everything the same and put the 'Never Mind..' in a bright pink for better jarring effect. And then Myonga's 45/LP cover montage can be the full-cover inner sleeves

Nah. Works perfectly this way. The red and yellow faded into the background looks vintage like an old LP cardboard cover.

plus it matches the do not carry drinks sign.

I concur. (I've already updated the artwork in my iTunes playlist to include it.)

The great mysteries of this photo continue to reveal themselves:

* What, exactly, is the deal with her hair -- a reverse dye job? Pulled back and piled on top?

* Does the tiny Canadian flag means this was from a show there?

* Who owns the thumb on the left hand side?

* Why is glasses man pulling a face?

I keep thinking that's Rob Tyner behind him.

ahahah, that is perfect, amateurist. i've got one other photo of what i believe is the same night. gimme a sec and i'll scan it.

actually now that i look at it, it might not be the same night. unless bob did a wardrobe change before his set.

maybe a back cover photo?

Ooh, lots of black space for tracklisting. Also great because it looks like he's boxing his own noggin from side to side.

yeah, i did a crop that's closer up

back cover!

all we really need now is a cheap vinyl pressing plant THAT ASKS NO QUESTIONS.

seriously!!

Switch sides. The live shot is a better front cover. The other shot is great but too unfocused for the cover.

see for some reason i like the counterintuitive first shot being the cover but maybe i'm perverse.

yeah i like the first shot just cuz there's something HAPPENING there, you know? i don't know what's happening, but it is happening.

also the girl is cute

girls and babies and dogs. sell records. that's what william randolph hearst used to say.

Yeah the existing front cover is the way to go. I like the mystery there.

gatefold shot

yesssss. i guess this would have to be a double lp?

any of you blog-dwellers ever hear the pep perrine album on hideout? doesn't sell for a ton. curious though.

Amazing shots all. I would drop some serious change on this.

tyler, we need HD scans of these photos -- like 600 dpi.

also here's my tracklisting for a double LP. feel free to make alternative suggestions.

SIDE A (23:32)
the ballad of the yellow beret
east side story
sock it to me santa
florida time
persecution smith
chain smokin'
heavy music (part 1)
heavy music (part 2)
2 + 2 = ? (single version)

SIDE B (24:41)
ramblin' gamblin' man
tales of lucy blue

noah
lucifer
highway child
mongrel
leanin' on my dream
lookin' back

SIDE C (23:06)

rosalie

SIDE D (22:49)

also yeah the studio shot HAS to be front the cover. the seger with the mic shot is the back cover with track listing on either side.

Hey fellas, while we're at it here's the inside sleeve art I made for my humble edit awhile back

(& I used the righteous mike pic from upthread for the front)

OK, so I objected that the studio shot lacked focus. Let's give it some focus:

the natural one is like, perfection tho

I agree

love that we're all plotting out a hypothetical 2LP here

well, it actually needs to happen. Lord knows that 2009-2010 were all about these amazing 2LP comps of amazing African, Asian music what have you. let's all band together as the ILX community and create this thing. we should setup a PayPal address from some anonymous shit, and if everyone through in like 10 bucks, they'd get a copy of the 2LP

We just need ppl w/ skills, both design and ninja wise, to make something relatively easy like this happen

wish I could contribute, other than the $$. I am big IT guy but never design

basically, we need to find a way to evade Bob's lawyers...

i bet it can be done!

cheap pressing plant that asks no question? eksmfg.com

probably is that we need high-quality vinyl rips (like FLAC quality) otherwise the vinyl will sound like the shit MP3s that are circulating.

and by "probably" i meant "problem"

also the text on my cover art isn't perfectly centered. somebody want to re-do this and fix that? hey, anybody want to hook me up w/ a copy of photoshop for mac????

I have these as a WAV quality CDR thanks to Myonga, so that's not an issue (xp)

Thread is deindexed.

but were the WAVs made from MP3s??

anyone out there have a collection of original Seger 7"s?

I didn't think so but Myonga would know xp

pash modding like a champ and good citizen :)

Haha, not me, nope xxpost! CDs and CD-Rs only. I am but a link in the chain.

That album cover art is breathtaking indeed! I can't look at that picture of Hudson's without thinking "Stay alive with the MC5!"

but were the WAVs made from MP3s??

there are ways to tell if a WAV has mp3 in its lineage...

http://audiohub.org/get/fa/sa.htm

Oh yeah - all the files were originally mp3 or wma. The WAVs were originally mp3s that I tried to de-noise a bit (and usually wound up leaving mostly untouched)

I've done it before </nerd>

xp

aw damn so much for that 2LP idea xxp
