    @andrewskyDE how you aren’t already hired as a label’s graphic designer is a mystery to me. Stunning as always.

    Here's something I tried (and finished just few seconds ago).
    I actually wanted to add the tracklist and Parlophone/EMI logo on the sleeve but by late 1967 both things weren't placed on the front on many UK albums anymore.

    Thank you! Yeah, maybe this would be the ideal job for me. I have so much fun making all those sleeves.

  7. If you have time, I'd really like to know how you print your CD disc-faces and how you go about miniaturising the album bookjet's etc.,

    Best Wishes,

    Yeah! Your stuff is well thought out and executed. I'm all in for your Beatles deluxe boxes.
    Ever thought about a redesign of a book dust jacket for Mark Lewisohn's first volume of his 3 volume Beatles bio set.
    I really dislike the UK artwork, the US artwork is better, but neither evokes the spirit of the Beatles.
    And yes, you should be doing this for a living. Unless, you're already paid well for a different job you love doing.

    There's a fan made hybrid album mix of Pink Floyd's The Division Bell and The Endless River 'out there', called Forever And Ever. And I'll try to re-create that in hi-res sound quality (96/24) soon.
    For my version I decided to make an alternative artwork and re-title it back to The Division Bell, so that'll still fit to the original album's concept about communication.
    I took one of the inner sleeve pictures (from the 2016 LP release) and used the font from Delicate Sound Of Thunder. (Photography and art concept: Storm Thorgerson/Hipgnosis, 1994)

    Nice! Do you have a tracklist for that?

    I'll take the tracklist of the fan made Forever And Ever album as a template.
    I transfered the 'soundscape' stuff from the Pulse DVD to audio files already but have to buy the hi-res remaster of The Division Bell yet.

    @andrewskyDE have you ever made a cover for the Small Faces' abandoned 1969 LP, tentatively called "1862" after the year of the house that Steve Marriott was living in was built? I was discussing it with someone earlier and thought of you straight away when I was asked if any artwork was ever created for the LP.

    I'm not much aware of the Small Faces' recordings after Ogden's Nut Gone Flake but I will check out the story of that album you mentioned.

    The only things I designed recently were two alternative covers for Tangerine Dream's Quichotte/Pergamon and textless versions of some of their other albums.

    I wanted to put a copy of Yesterday and Today into the Capitol Albums Vol 2 box, so decided to do a partial peeled cover for it. :D
