"also, lol, apparently his current drummer is Don Brewer from Grand Funk Railroad -- even better!"
Jesus, that's a killer pairing. Maybe he'll let Brewer do a drum solo on TUNC
― The Curse of Dennis Stratton (Bill Magill), Tuesday, 1 February 2011 15:03 (thirteen years ago) link
He's had Brewer backing him for years. When I saw him in 2007, Brewer was the drummer.
Plus, new album? That could actually be good. There were a bunch of solid songs on Face the Promise.

anyone know someone at numero group?
― scott seward, Saturday, 5 February 2011 05:57 (thirteen years ago) link
It is really good, Am, but I'd actually keep everything the same and put the 'Never Mind..' in a bright pink for better jarring effect. And then Myonga's 45/LP cover montage can be the full-cover inner sleeves
― Stormy Davis, Saturday, 5 February 2011 06:09 (thirteen years ago) link
Nah. Works perfectly this way. The red and yellow faded into the background looks vintage like an old LP cardboard cover.
― Gorge, Saturday, 5 February 2011 17:15 (thirteen years ago) link
plus it matches the do not carry drinks sign.
― scott seward, Saturday, 5 February 2011 17:24 (thirteen years ago) link
I concur. (I've already updated the artwork in my iTunes playlist to include it.)
The great mysteries of this photo continue to reveal themselves:
* What, exactly, is the deal with her hair -- a reverse dye job? Pulled back and piled on top?
* Does the tiny Canadian flag means this was from a show there?
* Who owns the thumb on the left hand side?
* Why is glasses man pulling a face?

ahahah, that is perfect, amateurist. i've got one other photo of what i believe is the same night. gimme a sec and i'll scan it.
― tylerw, Saturday, 5 February 2011 19:57 (thirteen years ago) link
actually now that i look at it, it might not be the same night. unless bob did a wardrobe change before his set.

Ooh, lots of black space for tracklisting. Also great because it looks like he's boxing his own noggin from side to side.

back cover!

all we really need now is a cheap vinyl pressing plant THAT ASKS NO QUESTIONS.
seriously!!
― tylerw, Saturday, 5 February 2011 21:08 (thirteen years ago) link
Switch sides. The live shot is a better front cover. The other shot is great but too unfocused for the cover.
― Hideous Lump, Saturday, 5 February 2011 21:10 (thirteen years ago) link
see for some reason i like the counterintuitive first shot being the cover but maybe i'm perverse.
― scott seward, Saturday, 5 February 2011 21:11 (thirteen years ago) link
yeah i like the first shot just cuz there's something HAPPENING there, you know? i don't know what's happening, but it is happening.
― tylerw, Saturday, 5 February 2011 21:12 (thirteen years ago) link
also the girl is cute
girls and babies and dogs. sell records. that's what william randolph hearst used to say.

Yeah the existing front cover is the way to go. I like the mystery there.

any of you blog-dwellers ever hear the pep perrine album on hideout? doesn't sell for a ton. curious though.

Amazing shots all. I would drop some serious change on this.
― talrose, Saturday, 5 February 2011 22:56 (thirteen years ago) link
tyler, we need HD scans of these photos -- like 600 dpi.
also here's my tracklisting for a double LP. feel free to make alternative suggestions.

also yeah the studio shot HAS to be front the cover. the seger with the mic shot is the back cover with track listing on either side.

Hey fellas, while we're at it here's the inside sleeve art I made for my humble edit awhile back

OK, so I objected that the studio shot lacked focus. Let's give it some focus:

I agree
love that we're all plotting out a hypothetical 2LP here
― sleeve, Sunday, 6 February 2011 07:47 (thirteen years ago) link
well, it actually needs to happen. Lord knows that 2009-2010 were all about these amazing 2LP comps of amazing African, Asian music what have you. let's all band together as the ILX community and create this thing. we should setup a PayPal address from some anonymous shit, and if everyone through in like 10 bucks, they'd get a copy of the 2LP
We just need ppl w/ skills, both design and ninja wise, to make something relatively easy like this happen
wish I could contribute, other than the $$. I am big IT guy but never design
― Stormy Davis, Sunday, 6 February 2011 07:58 (thirteen years ago) link
basically, we need to find a way to evade Bob's lawyers...
i bet it can be done!

cheap pressing plant that asks no question? eksmfg.com
― not everything is a campfire (ian), Monday, 7 February 2011 03:26 (thirteen years ago) link
probably is that we need high-quality vinyl rips (like FLAC quality) otherwise the vinyl will sound like the shit MP3s that are circulating.
― by another name (amateurist), Monday, 7 February 2011 03:33 (thirteen years ago) link
and by "probably" i meant "problem"
also the text on my cover art isn't perfectly centered. somebody want to re-do this and fix that? hey, anybody want to hook me up w/ a copy of photoshop for mac????
― by another name (amateurist), Monday, 7 February 2011 03:34 (thirteen years ago) link
I have these as a WAV quality CDR thanks to Myonga, so that's not an issue (xp)

but were the WAVs made from MP3s??

anyone out there have a collection of original Seger 7"s?
I didn't think so but Myonga would know xp

That album cover art is breathtaking indeed! I can't look at that picture of Hudson's without thinking "Stay alive with the MC5!"

there are ways to tell if a WAV has mp3 in its lineage...

― a led zep of one (Edward III), Monday, 7 February 2011 21:39 (thirteen years ago) link
Oh yeah - all the files were originally mp3 or wma. The WAVs were originally mp3s that I tried to de-noise a bit (and usually wound up leaving mostly untouched)
