ChrisBelfast · 08 Mar 2003, 20:17

i prefer the German one, there was something about the UK one i didnt like but wasnt sure what, now i know wot it is, the red background is far better

tukayaway · 09 Mar 2003, 01:45

Whats the point of having different coloured backgrounds? I know that there's probably some kind of marketing reason behind it, but why just change the colour? Why not change the whole thing? I dont like the font either, it doesn't fit in with the picture.

It makes me wonder if they'll change the background color again when it's released in the U.S.

I agree ... it's probably a marketing strategy. I like the font, but I also think the picture shows up better on the orange background :)

Don't like them, the look at the typography, it's a bit.......childish..... Not the best cover, where is Whelan or Royo?

Fire Ball · 09 Mar 2003, 16:27

I love the cover, It's an old picture from the Thirties that I found. The true color is Red. The UK Co. Wanted a different color because the album will be released 5 weeks later there. All to do with Imports in the stores .
Sorry you don't like the cover. I worked really hard on this record and the cover to make it all work. 1 more thing and then I won't bother you guys anymore. The SINGLE version of CHSIB was played on BBC2 on SAt. and willed be played on Mon the 10th Just can't remember which show. See you on tour!!! I hope.

Meat, of course we are there to support YOU and the Neverland Express. You (and Jim) supported so many of us over the years. I only can speak for me, but I´ll never be able to give back what I received. Thank you.

And for the cover. Nothing against the pictuer of the woman! It´s only the letters that look out of place.

But I won´t judge a CD by it´s cover. *lol

Raptor · 09 Mar 2003, 19:43

Anyone know what show it'll be shown on?

mariella · 09 Mar 2003, 20:11

I have no idea which show. I think Chris mentioned it was a radio show, so I am just going to listen to BBC2 all day.

One more thing, ... it's a shame that to fully appreciate what you have, you sometimes have to lose it..

But people can change their minds, let's hope for that!!

I don't mind the cover.... In true is better than others... but we can't compare it.... is a NEW record and that's the important.

I'll buy the album anyway... and now I'm going to buy the 2 versions... and if I find the single.... and whatever...

I'm waiting for the 31.... 3 weeks.... too much time to waste....

There is no chance of you ever bothering us. You're always more than welcome. I don't think there is anyone here who would rather have you gone from this forum, even amongst those who don't like the cover. I'm sure they would join me in apologising if we (or I) have done anything to upset or offend you. Thank you for honouring us with your presence here.

I hope to see you on tour as well. I live in New Zealand, so I hope you can make it down here.
