Uh oh! Just thought! James won't like it cos it'll probably be too 'Dali' for him! (As in the artist - see cover of Rush's Grace Under Pressure)

I meant a better title for the thread, like the cover though.

I hardly think 2 photos I took and blended together looks that much like Dali

Like it a lot. So it won't happen.

And your JFPL was still much better than the final version, btw.

If you hunt back far enough in the threads concerning JFPL before it was released, you'll find where I originally posted this. But I only say that for those who might think I did this after JFPL come out. We heard about JS submitting one of her pieces for the album cover so I just took one I liked and made this:



Quite close to the finished product but, in my opinion, not as good.

There was also this that I designed for a 'Marlon J.D.' single, simply because I really really wanted that to be the single

It's just a much more visceral and physical version of the image, much more in keeping with the content imo. More fractured and interpretative, and so much better than ol' green-and-yellow which we ended up with at any rate.

No, no, no!

I am hoping your first go would be a right-on prediction for them not using the Reversed Rs again
