Album Art Update Today, Essex Green Rave

Published Friday, July 28, 2006 by Jeff | E-mail this post

I just added a great deal of scans to the Optical Atlas Album Artwork section today. Big thanks go out to Arnaud for sending in a bunch of stuff. I know, I'm still missing all the major albums...I've been concentrating on 7-inches so far. But now we have the "infamous" Sunshine Fix insert from the "Beaconary Word/Last Night I Had a Dream" single added to the database.

You will definitely want to check out the Apples comment card, which I added to the Promotional Art section, next to the Elephant 6 catalog. Do you think the Apples provide a satisfactory experience? Did their haircuts and shoes meet your approval? (You can see the comment card pictures here: the two purple pics at the bottom of the page, which you can click to enlarge.) These were included with some copies of Tidal Wave circa 1993.

Oh, and I can't emphasize it enough: you really need to hear the Essex Green performance on NPR's World Cafe from yesterday. It's archived here. Sasha and Chris are in perfect singing form, the audience is enthusiastic, and Jeff Baron is witty and chatty.
