  1. There's a bit too much going on in Jim's cover this time for me. I much prefer the previous cover.

    Those stylised portraits are a bit like good court room drawings you see on TV where the drawings almost look like the people they are meant to represent.

  2. I too don't like crowded film posters (score covers). I always prefered the teaser posters of the original SW saga to the collage like main posters. The teaser posters leave so much more to the imagination. A prime example for what I mean is the poster for "Alien" that shows nothing but the egg and the tagline.

    Bach's music is vibrant and inspired.

    Yeah, I agree with this. I much prefer a logo or concept of some kind to just staring at a group of faces.

    This is the only comment I agree with!

    As for the rest, y'all on acid?

    Are you guys putting down brilliant artist like Drew Struzen? His Star Wars posters are nothing short of brilliant. Special Edition posters > all other Star Wars posters.

  4. I'm certainly not saying that all collage approaches are bad. Far from it! Drew Struzan's work, as you say, is amazing. But that's hand-drawn, which makes a difference, and he usually includes things that aren't just actors as well. What I specifically don't like is a bunch of floating-head photos of the three or four main leads.

    Signs, which as you know I'm listening to right now, has a gorgeous cover BTW.

  8. If ever a cover was going to put off a potential purchase:

    http://www.musicbox-records.com/en/cd-c … devil.html

    Music Box's artwork for the upcoming Howard Shore She-Devil release. Yes, it's tied in to the film's artwork and it is definitely a sign of the times. But, god, it's awful.

    We've all seen worse but YES, that one is BAD!

    The film stinks! The TV series, on the other hand, was superb! Worth watching if it's available anywhere.

    I actually have a nostalgic relationship to that movie. It's one of my early cinema memories.

    Quartet Records' new artwork for The Thomas Crown Affair isn't particularly good:

    I'm not sure whether Steve McQueen is passing something to Faye Dunaway, or trying to take a bite (or vice versa).

    It's the original LP cover Alan. Nothing new about it.

  9. I wondered whether to mention that it was from original artwork when I posted but felt that it was irrelevant.

    It doesn't stop it being bad artwork.

    Agreed. They should have done something more and 'fresh' with it.

    I see that they had that material that changes colour as a result of body heat even back then!
