Honestly, you should offer it as an LP cover to the highest bidder.

It's one of the best I've ever seen.

Oh well, here it is again. Although the typography is completely different, I dislike this version. The picture is good though.

Nightjar · August 12th, 2011, 02:13 AM

I can see it.

Erebus555 · August 12th, 2011, 02:15 AM

OK, now it is showing. Fucking temperamental something something.

This is what's called in psychoanalysis as projection.

I'm going to wait for Lady gaga or some other horribly rich pop trash artist to come out with an album called Snake Pit. I will then go in for the kill and explain how edgy it would be to have some unknown small child holding a snake as the LP cover.

>>>>>>profit.

Nightjar · August 12th, 2011, 03:32 AM

Sorry, but I've already copyrighted it and sold it to One Direction.

Unfortunatly, under the terms of negotiated usage, they've photoshopped out the words 'Snake Pit' and replaced them with the words "Squirmy Giblets" which I was against, but have been unable to have an influence upon.

I would have chosen a band with more gravitas, but ultimately I'm sure you'll agree it's all about >>>>>>profit!

Personally speaking this bitter pill is sweetened by the knowledge that my bank account is better off to the sweet tune of £45.

It was all downhill from there.

This got reprinted in one of last weekend's colour supplements as part of a celebration of Jazz LP cover art.

Arguably one of the best, regardless of genre.

Erebus555 · August 20th, 2011, 03:45 AM

I like this mixtape cover for 'Thursday' by The Weeknd. Only dropped yesterday, I think.

What do you think of the Mixtape? His first one was voted best of the year so far by Complex Mag, personally I love both Mixtapes.

Here's the first Mixtape cover, as you can see, nice balloons

Erebus555 · August 23rd, 2011, 12:05 AM

I haven't listened to the first one yet, I was late catching on to the whole Weeknd vibe but I can understand the hype. This second mixtape is pretty good - it's like listening to Drake with talent. I do think he's a bit over-rated though, the real juicy goodness is in the production. Overall, though, I do really like it and I do look forward to hearing more in the long run!

Nightjar · August 23rd, 2011, 01:18 AM

Shut up about mix-tapes.

This thread is about the dying art of record covers.

Also, both of those covers are shit.

Especially the first one.

Pathetic, nauseating.
