Very cool, oneiros! ... ...
Things I'd never realised before;
1. that Walk Away was the odd one out in terms of sleeve design
2. that TOL 92 had the 'sun' image reversed from the original
I loved the purity/consistency of design

So this is a message board about a band who's released 17 singles (18 if you count Giving Ground), 3 studio albums (4 if you count Gift) and two compilations.

What's the alternative?
Canadian recording artist Justin Bieber has released three studio albums, four compilation albums, one extended play, nineteen singles (including five as a featured artist), six promotional singles and twenty-four music videos

If I've learned one thing from Eastenders it is that lives are just a pain...

Also, The Sisters have more promo singles than Justin Bieber ... and for sure way more bootlegs ... ...
And only half of them are any good...markfiend wrote:So this is a message board about a band who's released 17 singles (18 if you count Giving Ground), 3 studio albums (4 if you count Gift) and two compilations.

I tend to disagree to that.
However, there are lots of bands who never released any good stuff (not to speak of Justin Bieber)

It really does stand out doesn't it? Always thought that was a great logo - pity it isn't used more for t-shirts etc...Randall Flagg wrote:

My personal fav has always been Body Electric - just think the black & red works so well & the Francis Bacon image is so powerful & keeping with the song.
The other indy releases, the appropriated images may have been a bit more obvious (snake effect for Anaconda, female for Alice, ancient building for Reptile House - although the sun for Temple would be less so..)
Of the band ones - Love This Corrosion & More. Considering that Patsy was there for visual effect I presume that was in part related to the shift in art work from images to band. Although I always noticed that Morrissey made the same shift with cover art between the smiths releases and his solo singles. Perhaps it was just the style of the time (And the influence of the majors!)

They probably felt that they overused it at the time as logo for the Black October tour, with the button badges, t-shirts (including the -shock- white one) etc in addition to the WA sleeve, adverts etc.bangles wrote:It really does stand out doesn't it?

I had it painted on the back of my leather years ago, but (also years ago) decided it was rather dull-looking in that context, so it got replaced with the cover of The Birthday Party's Hee-Haw (which seemed to me to strike the appropriate balance between lively and colorful, on the one hand, and utterly ridiculous, on the other--and therefore to be ideal for the back o' my jacket).bangles wrote:It really does stand out doesn't it?

The most successful tyranny is not the one that uses force to assure uniformity but the one that removes the awareness of other possibilities, that makes it seem inconceivable that other ways are viable, that removes the sense that there is an outside.
