That's very interesting. I am a gardener & I make electronic music.

Favourite sleeve art: Sideways

As stated my favorite album front cover art is 'SOR' and 'The Garden'. Not too surprising my favorite back cover art is also 'SOR' and 'The Garden'. I find this is the case with most albums.

I've never seen this! What's it look like? Is there a photo of it online somewhere?

What's wrong with the barcode? I like the way the white box its in extends almost right across. A bit different from the usual barcode boxes.

The Hidden Man is the only John Foxx CD I don't have, by the way. Can anyone recommend a good place to buy it? Somewhere better than eBay anyway.

Are there any images of these online anywhere?

Poster art is something that really interests me.

Nevermind, they are all up on your web site.

How did you come across all these early artwork examples?

Of course, the worst artwork has to be this .

I always liked the artwork for the 12 inch of 'Quiet Men' - not least the fact that trouble was taken to make it different from the 7 inch. Also the theme sort of pops up again on 'Shifting City'...

Call me old fashioned, but 'Young Savage'is another favourite of mine!

That is true, but I dislike it for exactly that reason!!

White is just so wrong for Cathedral Oceans - I find the white across the back invasive and unnecessary

OK, its just different tastes then. Looking at it, it looks like an attempt was made to improve on the appearance of the usual barcode boxes.
