They knew...

Hipgnoisis not even trying anymore.



Say what you see. etc etc.

I'm trying create an LP cover for my friend/ex's band.

An actual 12" vinyl LP cover.

Front cover, back cover, inner sleeve with lyrics printed on and labels.

It's much harder than you might think.

Scribbler and doodler that I am I neglected to pay due consideration to the multitudinous issues in and around actual product design parameters as required by the manufacturer.

Add into that the fact that the other person in the band is a moody sh*t and, instead of contacting me directly, keeps angrily ordering my ex to pass on information.


I wish I'd never drunkenly agreed to do it now.

Don't forget to design the side bar title thing the right way up.

Just give an amateurish big drawing of a gentleman’s bits


In issue.

That's quite a responsibility. Do you know which way you're leaning? A photograph? Your own art? Something simple? Busy?

The number one album.

It might've been nice if whoever created that had managed to find a contemporary picture of Mick Jagger, y'know, not one from the Steel Wheels era.

Or a left hand drive car.

Or is it right hand? I can never remember.

Sampled album art?

Is that one before Shellshock or State of the Nation?

I've got all the NO singles on 7" and just a few on 12".

I'm not sure to be honest. A lot of those Arthur Baker period stuff all sounds the same to me.
