Comments on: That cover! http://bibbly-o-tek.com/2006/04/26/that-cover/ the Scritti Politti source Sat, 17 May 2008 05:51:59 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3.1 By: Jim http://bibbly-o-tek.com/2006/04/26/that-cover/#comment-820 Jim Thu, 03 Aug 2006 05:57:02 +0000 http://bibbly-o-tek.com/2006/04/26/that-cover/#comment-820 Dagnabbit. The US edition comes in a lovely jewel case with a full-size slipcover. Which means I'll have to shell out for <i>White Bread Black Beer</i> again. And it'll be worth every penny again! Dagnabbit.

Classic old-school hip-hop lettering made all folksy by turning it into felt and denim (could that be read as a possible shout out to Lawrence? Hmmm...). I have to disagree with GHP, though - who on Earth would consider [i][b]Cupid & Psyche '85[/i][/b] to have a "no-frills" design?! It had raised gold letters, fer cryin' out loud! ;o) I think it’s fantastic.

I guess 14 songs was too much to cram into two grooves. ;-) Vinyl version will be minus “After 6″, by the look of it. I guess 14 songs was too much to cram into two grooves. ;-)

I think it's better this way, though the cover for Provision in particular was innovative and stylish, I think this more straightforward approach could actually help gain commercial ground rather than lessen it. It does what it says on the tin!

Apologies for all less subtle reactions, i guess in the end it turns out to be great ! Apparently the cover is needlework of Green’s wife Alice, that puts it in a different perspective.

Nothing too fancy, just good music, fun and a few Guiness. Low profile :)
