Just wondering what CD cover art everyone likes the most. I love Echolalia, Three Dimensions single, Monsters single and Prick. (Nice tuch with the ice cubes)
I love how in Echolaila and Elsewhere Paul scribbles down little thoughts and cut outs of lyrics. Very creative, mixing writing into artwork. I love paintings like that. Once did a cubist painting of a crying guy with the words to Jerry Stand Up in the background. Turned out looking really awesome.

I would have to say that for some reason i adore the cover of the Whatever You Want single - i guess mainly cause i really like the photograph. Yeah all the artwork with words inside Echolalia was cool. It was nice to get a little booklet this time  Even though BS just has a fold-out artwork it was still quite cool. |

actually the beatles 'white album' which was just white and nothing else (no writing etc...) would have to be the most subversive cd cover i've ever seen. 8) fitting for such an out-there album... sorry this has nothing to do whatsoever with sfk...  |

Well, it does have "The Beatles" pressed out on the LP cover  The cover of Echolalia is probably my favorite |

I love Elsewhere for eight minutes. I really don't know why....I just do. I think it's because they are just so ordinary pictures composed in such a way that they become statements of society and he surroundings in which we maintain the exicitance we live within....sorry, that's the student in me coming out. |

well...now that we're off topic, i'd have to say that Spinal Tap's black album was vastly superior to the Beatles 'white' album....i mean, how much more black can you get, and the answer is none, you can't get more black than that....
i think i like elsewhere the best of the s4k covers...sophie howarth's photography is v.good, and the way the photos are joined...

is young sophie fast becoming Australia's answer to Annie Leibowitz? (another cool photographer... almost as cool as Anton Corbijin, but definetly not as perverse as Mapplethorpe! . 8) |

Some punk band brought out a record with a sandpaper cover so it would wreck all the over records on the shelf with it

harvey dangers album was orginally done as a stamped on design on cardboard, handmade. Apparently, when they got a huge order, they decided that they probably couldn't hand stamp and hand cut 50,000 cd sleeves...
on the cover note - i've changed my mind slightly. I like the say something cover the best...the empty seats, sorta look pretty cool.
maplethorpe is weird...and leiobwitz is over rated (you take a nakid photo of a pregnant demi moore and then EVERYONE loves you....)
i know you are, you said you are, so what am i?

like i said, mapplethorpe was perverse but his photos are interesting to look at in a train smash kinda way...as for annie, well she takes better pics that that woman (her name escapes me) who just photos babies!!  i like the idea of the sandpaper cover though...tres punk 8) |
