Right I dunno whether anyone will be arsed with this but. If the band released a single that wasn`t released what do you think would be the cover on the single i.e

Man Of The Earth may have looked like this....

Bloody hell Jim, that's the bollocks (literally!) - they should've released it just for that sleeve. Better than the shitty album sleeves for Mk2's output by a mile.

I'm buggered if I can think of owt off hand, but it'd be interesting to see any sleeve designs for 'Ugly'.

[Dom P]

[DannyL]

That's a very kind offer, Dom - I just might take you up on that...I've got a 'suitable' enough photo of me, as it goes.

I'll want the squiggly red logo too, though!

[theraven1979]

[Dom P]

That's very "Ugly". I must say. Let's see what we can do...

[Alex]

I can't perform such wizardry as that on this excuse for a ZX Spectrum, so I'll have to describe it. Although I'll have to log off soon coz I wanna beat my high score on Horace Goes Skiing.

The 'All Day.....' withdrawn Mary Coughmedicine sleeve, with Mary replaced by Barrymore, for the (should have been on album) 'Norman Normal' single. :p

Or..

This is just a good excuse for a perve :D THAT famous 70's no knickers tennis playing chick scratching her arse photo (you know the one?) for 'Love 30'.

or....

Pammy Anderson for 'Savage Breast'!

I like this, can you tell?
I'm also very pissed

:booze:

A big picture of the majestic Jettus Blackus for the rereleased hip hop, bangin monster rave 'Old Codger'.

??? <---- That little guy there for the cover version of 'Out of Time'
<----Or him!

:D
I could go on.......

ps: Was trying to think of one for 'Duchess' but the original cover can't be beaten.

[Alex]

:thumbs:

[paulinblack]

[theraven1979]

Yep that`s why I did it.


Jim

[theraven1979]

Ok they`re getting a bit dire now so this one is me last. This is something like my alternative idea for the cover for Black & white. Obviously you can`t top the original.

There needs to be an ambulance at the bottom of the cliff but I`ve not the artistic skills to do it. Kept the sea in for the Toiler reference.



Somone else can have a go!

Jim

[theraven1979]

I`m sure "Too Many Teardrops" was gonna be released as well I remember reading reviews for it as a single.


Jim

[Manna Machine]

[105-1009277470]

...and The Smiley Man in Black with the 2 Sunspots reflecting in his shades for 2 SUNSPOTS. Would have been good. Can you do that Jim or Dom with a suitable font from the era in white or somink?

I think those 'oriible MiB dancing was gonna be used for WALTZINBLACK, weren't it? Wobaaat dat?

...and..and..and TRAMP!

:D crass getting r e a l l y excited...

[StanInBlack]

Hahahahahaha... !!!

[theraven1979]

Jim

[ceebs]

Wouldnt that have been a better cover for Golden Brown Jim?

[theraven1979]

[theraven1979]

See..



Don`t laff either you bastards taken me all day that one.


Jim

[Dom P]

OK... Jim, I know you've been holding up this thread on your Tod, so it's only fair... and to mark my coming of age as a Maninblack on the occasion of my 500th post!!

In response to Crass's fine idea...

[theraven1979]

Good work fella


Jim

[Dom P]

How about this then?

[Alex]

Class.

Jet could do Bun Luncher on the cover of the much talked about release of the '10 demos' , dontcha fink?

[theraven1979]

Ugly is next!

[105-1009277470]

In response to Crass's fine idea...

Not my idea - can't take credit away from the MiBs original idea to do 2S with that cover.

:) crass

Come on Dom - do Tramp! How bout a pic of that journo who went off the rails in Brighton apres Iceland bumming it aound fishing around the bins

[StanInBlack]

I haven't actually seen that pic, dunno if it exists or not, but it says in the Black & White sleevenotes it does...

[Dom P]

Here you go then folks... Ugly... starring DannyL!!



:D

[theraven1979]

Ok ok keep the OnVision music pumping we`ve another pic - Can`t take the credit for this but it comes from Paul (age 5) :D - Delightful - but she`d hardly be walking now would she??




Jim

[Dom P]

That looks more like Michael Barrymore's idea of heaven...

[DannyL]

"In Heaven He Minces"...

Fame at last for me! 'Pin Up' would've made a more appropriate song, though, eh? :D

[theraven1979]

Nice one from Danny - Inspired!

Jim

[Paul]

[Dom P]

[DannyL]

Oh aye...it'd probably work better for Non Stop. Never mind.

Can't take all credit for that - my mate Gary did all the work putting it together, I'm useless at owt computer-related.

[Dom P]

I'll send yer a bigga image of yerself soon, lad.

[105-1009277470]

Hehe - I like the nun stuff, as long as you don't make a 'habit' of it...

:D crass

[theraven1979]

[theraven1979]

This one by my girlfriend for if they released Sewer today or the last decade. We need to stick rats in there somewhere as well!

Jim



Edited By theraven1979 on Sep. 18 2002 at 14:36

[Lammy]

why use just rats when you could use splinter?

he's a rat and he's a mutant...he is also ninja. and lives in a sewer. possibly a goth? most likely an amphibian abuser. all that time alone, in the dark ultimate power over them turtles. naughty little rat. :thumbs:

[theraven1979]

Ok ok ok Splinter then!! ??? :D

Jim

[StanInBlack]

Other ideas for covers: "Bring On The Nubiles", "Peasant In The Big Shitty", "Dead Ringer".... "Tits"!? :D

[theraven1979]

All waaaaaaay too obvious though just to plonk a pair of tits and the Stranglers logo there - It needs to be a pic Jamie Oliver and Darren Day or something with Tits and the logo written on it.

Jim

[StanInBlack]

Hrrmm... true... true... or a picture of the Gallagher brothers, they're a pair of tits.

Or a still from that Add N To X video for "Metal Fingers In My Body" for Hey! (Rise Of The Robots) :D

[theraven1979]

[theraven1979]

Ok another one from our lass  :D  - Looks like she`s found me jazz mags! Â





Edited By theraven1979 on Sep. 18 2002 at 17:02

Some of these I could see the band actually using but others - Hmmmmm. Â :D

[Dom P]

[Barry Spooner]

Irony, per chance?
