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!)

"Remember when I learnt italics and bold and font sizes?"

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

words = bold
 words = italic
 words 
< 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".

― Nick Southall (Nick Southall), Thursday, 24 July 2003 09:08 (twenty-three years ago)

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-three years ago)

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

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

"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-three 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-three years ago)

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