    Very nice cover. But, Graham quit The Hollies. He wasn’t kicked out of the band.

    A more era-appropriate cover for Platinum Weird's Make Believe:

    Would have by far preferred this or something like it over the austere cover we got.

    People forget the humor that ran through Nirvana's music - as displayed fully by a greatest hits with a cover that looks like a damned grave marker... :shake:

    Glad you liked the alternate cover, and yeah I'm not a fan of the original cover either. Good point about people forgetting the honour found in Nirvana's music.

    Past Masters is another example of a great album with a poor cover. Even just adding a picture of The Beatles would've improved the cover.

    Using A Is For Apple, this is what I think would be the final Yardbirds 1968 album

    I really love the clarity of the picture but prefer the original font and inclusion of the track list.

    Absolutely incredible work. Would've been a great double album.

    CHVRCHES is bringing out their third album Love Is Dead on 25 May (my birthday!?) this year.
    So far two new songs came out already and they announced the tracklist and official album cover, which I think looks good but not great as the older albums.

    Here's artwork I made for the album but based on typefaces they used on the other two records.
    Pic 1: Standard CD/vinyl release; Pic 2: Deluxe CD release; Pic 3: Deluxe vinyl release (based on the coke bottle transparent vinyl for Every Open Eye)

    Thanks for the feedback - glad you like the watercolour. I like the original except for the awkward wrapping of the title around Bob's head – not centred, balanced or anything!
