I've always maintained that Loveless looks exactly as it sounds.

it's so easy! just type 'i' followed (no space) by the image URL. eg

i http://www.lovelypictures.co.uk/pretty.jpg

but with no space...

Nick, if you right click on (just about) any image on the net it'll give you it's URL. Just put an i before that (no need for < or >'s at all!)

― Stewart Osborne (Stewart Osborne), Thursday, 24 July 2003 07:48 (twenty-two years ago)

So how do you do italics and bold and font sizes? No-one seems to want to tell me.... can't think why not!

< b > words < / b > = bold
< i > words < / i > = italic
< font size=[number 1=smallest, 7=largest] > words < / font >
< s > words < / s > = strike-through
< a href=[web address] > words < / a > = hyperlink

Leave out spaces between < > and the content therein but not between the "a href" or the "font size".

Maybe they should add that to the FAQ.

Thank God someone put a Cocteau Twins album on here - all their sleeves are perfect housing for the music.

'Felt Mountain' by Goldfrapp is another perfect sleeve. And then they spoilt all that with Black Cherry....

well, the smiths covers and the artwork heritage they left to pop music, p.saville's work for factory, the pale fountains covers...

― hebe cat (hebe), Thursday, 24 July 2003 12:09 (twenty-two years ago)

The Smiths covers - they're surely the best record sleeves ever?

Best ones? Shakespears Sister, Ask, Hand in Glove, Bigmouth...

― russ t, Thursday, 24 July 2003 12:15 (twenty-two years ago)

There should be a reverse thread for this, for totally misleading artwork.

"The Smiths covers - they're surely the best record sleeves ever?

I thought of The Smiths earlier. Sadly all their best sleeves seem to have been for singles rather than albums 'though.

― Stewart Osborne (Stewart Osborne), Thursday, 24 July 2003 12:44 (twenty-two years ago)

I agree, Stewart.... didn't like many of their album sleeves, apart from 'Rank' and the debut. Hated Strangeways and Queen is Dead.... but their single sleeves - almost always fabulous.

― russ t, Thursday, 24 July 2003 12:53 (twenty-two years ago)

Half of Loveless sounds like the pink cover, and the other half sounds like the blue picture inside the CD booklet.
