Here's some in progress Pat Benatar redo's (before adding the text and logos back) to replace the horrid generic Chrysalis CD back covers. IN THE HEAT OF THE NIGHT and CRIMES OF PASSION. PRECIOUS TIME and GET NERVOUS
I do all photo retouching and re-coloring in Photoshop and I do all text work in microsoft publisher.
Short plot: Pink Floyd hasn't released "The Wall", and with this, Richard Wright isn't fired. Just a regular album, maybe with David Gilmour/Richard Wright solo songs and some tracks of The Wall. In 1983, they've unveiled the concept album "The Pros and Cons of Hitch Hiking", and developed into a double concept rock album. The album is considered one of the Pink Floyd classic albums, alongside with "Dark Side of the Moon" and "Wish You Were Here". Pink Floyd - The Pros and Cons of Hitch Hiking (1983) Side One 1. "4:15 AM (Until We Sleep)" (David Gilmour) 2. "4:20 AM (Running Shoes)" (Roger Waters) 3. "4:22 AM (Arabs with Knives and West German Skies)" (Waters) 4. "4:27 AM (Cuts Like a Diamond)" (Richard Wright, Dave Harris) Side Two 5. "4:32 AM (Sexual Revolution)" (Waters) 6. "4:37 AM (Out of the Blue)" (Gilmour) 7. "4:40 AM (Confusion)" (Wright, Harris) 8.

Well, that's one playlist I'm going to attempt... Granted, I have no illusions about it being a cohesive listen, but those songs massaged into a "whole" listening experience by an intact PF would have been wild.
Managed to do another (but butterflied) concept album with Pink Floyd... maybe... Plot: Nick Mason and Richard Wright depart from Pink Floyd in 1968 and form an experimental duo. They manage to put their first album (near 1968/69) into the charts, with a little success in the UK. But they achieve a commercial success with their second album, "One Night Stand", with the catchy single "Summer '68". (Note: The tracklist was made a time ago)
By requests (in other places), the sequence to 'Pros and Cons'. Plot: After a successful tour, and the release of their most successful hit, "The Tide is Turning" (1st at Billboard Hot 100), sung at the Live Aid, Pink Floyd is revealed as a great power in the world of music in the 80's. In the early 1987, is revealed by Nick Mason and Roger Waters that Pink Floyd was working into a rock opera. "[...] We just have to finish a few things.", says Roger Waters to Melody Maker. "Nothing too much complicated, soon the album will reach your hands.". "All I can say is that [The] Tide is Turning will be included on the album.", ends. The album is released as 'Home', and quickly reached the top of Billboard 200 and the UK Album Charts. "Learning to Fly" is released as the lead single, with one month later, the release of "Radio Waves". Home would be a Pink Floyd's best-selling album, alongside with "Dark Side of the Moon". Initially I was waiting to do a single-disc album, but I was obligated to do a double-album rock opera. I kept the album with the working name 'Home'. With the unreleased 'The Final Cut', I took the opportunity to take a few songs that could fit the concept of the album, and help to "regularize" it. Pink Floyd - Home (1987) Total: 102:37 Side A 1. "Radio Waves" (Roger Waters) 2. "Who Needs Information?" (Waters) 3. "Learning to Fly" (David Gilmour, Anthony Moore, Bob Ezrin, Jon Carin) 4. "The Powers That Be" (Waters) 5. "One Slip" (Gilmour, Moore) Side B 6. "Yet Another Movie/Round and Around" (Gilmour, Pat Leonard) 7. "Sunset Strip" (Waters) 8. "Home" (Waters) 9. "Me or Him" (Waters) Side C 10. "Sorrow" (Gilmour) 11. "Your Possible Pasts" (Waters) 12. "A New Machine (Part 1)" (Gilmour) 13. "Terminal Frost" (Wright, Gilmour) 14. "A New Machine (Part 2)" (Gilmour) 15. "The Gunner's Dream" (Waters) Side D 16. "The Dogs of War" (Gilmour, Waters, Moore) 17. "Four Minutes" (Waters) 18. "On the Turning Away" (Gilmour) 19. "Two Suns in a Sunset" (Waters) 20. "The Tide is Turning" (Waters, Wright, Mason, Gilmour)
HOT OFF THE PRINTER!! The "booklet" is a reproduction of the original 1957 JAILHOUSE ROCK soundtrack EP (front and back), the inner jewel case has a reproduction of the JAILHOUSE ROCK 2 track single and the back was done to match the rest of the Elvis remasters on my shelf.
aaaand, here's the other soundtrack EP! details are the same as the above post. Why did I do this you might ask? Because I'm an odd one, in that I hated the two EPs being together on one CD called 'Jailhouse Rock', and I like the vintage style of the EP covers.
It was all one set, just with two different border colors to compare/choose between. Plus, it wasn't my cover, or photo choice anyway--I was simply trying to help one of the other designers here color their creation in something more visually pleasing than the pink color they had originally done for that design. But I agree with you, had it been a two-volume set, that would be an excellent choice for the later volume.

Here's my new compact disc art for the instrumental mixes from the XTC SURROUND SERIES plus disc faces for INSTRUVENUS & WASPSTRUMENTAL, just to round out the set.
I made a new sleeve for Chicago's Hot Streets which fits better to the other earlier albums' art series. Tried to make a neon light variant to the famous logo.
