Best Inlay Card Design and Pictures

if we're talking cd booklets, then it's
'blue lines' all the way. wow what fantastic,
lushly photographed, stylishly cool packaging.
gorgeous. spraypaint and monochrome,
light and shade, graffitos and polaroids.
(sigh) they don't make them like that anymore.

is it D.O.A by throbbing gristle that has like genesis' 12 year old niece or summat naked on a bed?

Isn't that girl sitting on a chair? Don't really know for sure. Anyway, I think the Factory cassette boxes with inlay cards are all brilliant, whichever one you pick. I really like the studio photo on the back of the Stone Roses first album. Also, although not much inspired by the album, I thought the design style and photography on "Deep Down and Dirty" (and associated ads, singles) by Stereo MCs was excellent.

The Do Make Say Think choose your cover cardboard picture insert for their S/T debut was fantastic. Constellation more or less owns this thread with their friends at Alien8Recordings.

I like the extra inlay in Komeda's "The Genius of Komeda", presenting the band's fictitious back catalogue of 24 (!) albums. It starts with their alleged debut "The Musical Spectrum of Komeda", which, judging by the cover art, came out about 1966, passes through classics (possibly) such as "Bongo Frenzy", "Mexican Hat Dancing", "Bartok with a Beat" (feat. Ewa Bartlova), "Pop På Svenska" ("Pop in Swedish" in Swedish) and "Live in Darmstadt", and of course ends with the album to which it is the inlay. Catalogue numbers are of course given, and each cover depicted nicely pastiches the style of the time.

it's not a pic. of a studio as such on the back of
'the stone roses' it's a still from the tv broadcast of
'waterfall' live on granada in '89. ian's top was yellow.
that's cressa in the background (as u may know).

ace it was.
