Hard Fi - "Album covers are dead"

Here''''s one I made earlier:

Haha, it''s funny cause it''s probably 6 months off!

Here''s one I made earlier:

No Dannii Minogue Related Artwork

Very funny (and great avatar) but harsh. Better targets surely.

Yes, surely McFly will be first? I''m sure their label will see that and salivate.

I went to the same college as Rich Archer you know..

he could add to the sleeve notes of the artwork that isn''''t:

NOT MY REAL AGE, as he''''s certainly lost a few years on the rest of us
as well as
NOT MY REAL ACCENT, as he didn''''t used to sound so "hard" back then.

That said, he was an incredibly nice bloke, maybe something happened along the way.

I love these types of posts!

PS. A record whose cover was completely blank has already been released; it was 1968 (The Beatles ''''white album'''': no artwork, no title, no band name).

It had the band name on it. On the original pressing it was embossed so it was very hard to see unless you held the album on an angle. Later pressings printed it in a very light gray.

Metallica did much the same thing with their black album years later. But yeah, that''s the point. They''re all a design choice. Releasing it in a plain cardboard DJ sleeve or a tupperware box would be a design choice too -- although at least you could save your tupperware to store leftovers in if the record was crap!

Surely the fact that Apple went to the exent of releasing a video iPod with the functionality to include album covers at all, albeit 1cm square ones, shows that there is the demand for them.

What a pretentious old cunt.

Think the sleeve will look really stupid on an iPhone, out in the UK before Christmas. It will also make a rubbish street poster.

Anyway, The Beatles did it first with the White Album didn''t they?

The artwork is really rubbish, but as a band I like them, but not love them. Still if they can make a better song than "Better do Better", i will forget their pretentious album cover
