Bootleg covers

THE place for your Sisters-related comments, questions and snippets of Sisters information. For those who do not know, The Sisters of Mercy are a rock'n'roll band. And a pop band. And an industrial groove machine. Or so they say. They make records. Lots of records, apparently. But not in your galaxy. They play concerts. Lots of concerts, actually. But you still cannot see them. So what's it all about, Alfie? This is one of the few tightly-moderated forums on Heartland, so please keep on-topic. All off-topic posts will either be moved or deleted. Chairman Bux is the editor and the editor's decision is final. Danke.

Depends on which bootleg.

I always use www.darkalice.de for bootleg information. It's an utter goldmine of TSOM boot info.

Not that I bother with covers any more (it's a bit much to keep covers for around 250 CDs and DVDs) but I generally went with making my own.

Why not use black print on white paper - get 2 sleeves to a sheet of A4 using the power of MS Word?
Saves ink and has the additional benefits of protecting you from dodgy spelling, design and tracklists which include songs called On The Wine or Zero...

Free downloads from coverxp ( http://www.coverxp.com/main.asp ), combined with Google images.

Hours of fun for all the family. :wink:

I've been searching for them too every now and then, so I know where to find 'em by now :D clicky (on the site it's under traders, and scroll down a bit after that)

I used word documents myself, before, but now I just stock my boots in paper sleeve, on which I take notes about quality and stuff :oops:

Nero Cover Designer is my software of choice. Boots need covers, I've designed hundreds of the bloody things, including covers for 2006 gigs that may not even exist. :eek: :roll: May I join you in your shame, Zeno? :wink: :lol: :oops:

Always welcome :lol:

I used Nero before I went to Word too, but that was much more of a fuzz, in Word I could just paste the tracklist, hit enter a couple of times et voilà :lol:

One problem with doing 'designs' in word is that it probably doesn't render type very well. Tend to do mine in Photoshop and save them out (or print them straight out). Also, Word does not let you handle the resolution. From a design point of view it is not something you would use I suppose, but if it works for you....

I use a program called 'MediaFACE', which I find pretty effective and easy to use. You can easily import picture images, and it's pretty flexible in terms of text (font, size, colour, various effects).

MediaFACE is pretty much created for doing covers and you seem to be able to import Photoshop templates. However, seems to me that they are really for prefab type sheets and they don't do double sided.
