| One thing that didn't help sales of False Start, was, in my op, the dull packaging...one okay foto, used twice, surrounded by a largely black border, with a useless fold-out sleeve, containing one giant, out-of-focus shot of Arthur, and...the foto is in reverse!...looks like Arthur is playing left-handed. The only saving grace of the package is the red LOVE logo. The Out Here cover/painting/fold-out sleeve, with one foto of Arthurly, with his new innocuous-looking crew, shooting a 'gun' wasn't much better. The last tasteful lp jacket was Four Sail...nice cover photo and beautiful painting/graphics on the back. Also the LOVE Revisited best-of was nice. Elektra had a great art department...I ain't too sure about Blue Thumb, or Bob Krasnow's 'taste' in album jacket art design. Oh well...guess I'll just pick a while. |
