He did a great job

 

[Gregor Samsa]

Wow! He’s still got it. He really should take over operations concerning his own releases.

 

[Light Housework]

I just learned that Dana is 75 years old. Ten years older than Morrissey, fifteen years older than myself.

I was confused, thinking that “sleeve art” meant the paper sleeve inside a vinyl album. I sure can be a dummie. Then people commented what a great job Morrissey did, and I realized that the sleeve is the album cover. I just listened to the song a second time, and liked it.

 

[JoeSellMozza]

The links don´t really work, BUT I do have a deja-vu, remembering Nancy Sinatra´s "Let me kiss you" cover in 2004 f0r Attack!
Maybe Moz has signed to Fretsore Records too?

"PAGE NOT FOUND" IS SO CENTRAL.

Here's a colour photo that seems to be from the same session - used for Dana's single Weren't Born A Man, released in Germany 1974 (3:00):

An easy mistake to make. The sleeve art in this case is the outer sleeve (or cover) but a lot of reccords have inner sleeve art too, or perhaps lyrics or production details written on the inner sleeve that contains the record.

 

[guru_mosh]

An awesome font placed on three empty areas! Great sleeve "art"!

 

[Dusty Miller's Hornpipe]

Its all very Moz Central isn't it.

The sleeve will be for the STDIB single, which once you move past the broken link, isn't currently available to pre-order.

Oh god. The terrible design wasn't the idiot nephew. It was him all along...

"PAGE NOT FOUND" IS SO CENTRAL.

And some people still think it's a millennial nephew in charge over there, and not the boomer artist himself. Busted links, ill-formatted photos, headache font. The signs all point.

Again and again, he can't resist, hastily announcing an imminent release. It is unforgivable, in his precarious situation, to publish a pre-order link that ends up in Neverneverland. He manages to make a mockery of the whole thing again. In the end, the 7" with HIS song doesn't come at all. Where is the manager?

 

[goinghome]

My calendar says it's 9 April, and not yet the 19th, when the single will be released, and presumably, the link activated then.

The sleeve is easy on the eye. I hope the track gets picked up and played. I think it expresses what a lot of people feel at the moment

 

[The Alchemist]

That cover art screams 12-inch, not 7-inch.

 

[marred]

Assuming he got a credit, it is nice to see Morrissey's name on a record release. Here's hoping his name appears on his own record in stores soon. I am not a dog on a chain seems like a long time ago now.
