Up early and working on a new idea for the cover - four "front covers" - one on the front (the flowers and sky), one on the back (the hearts), one on the booklet front (the skull) and one on the booklet back (the illustrative collage)...

At lunchtime to HMV and snapped up the final copy of Dream Theater's "Images and Words" for £2...

This evening, with Anne off out to see Hearts thrash Elgin City in the CIS Cup (Queens play tomorrow), I did more work on the sleeve - re-doing the crop re the flowers and sky to widen the front cover illustration, moving the songlist from the outside sleeve completely and in to the inside of the gatefold and amended the booklet slightly...

I think it might be ready...



















Labour intensive but hopefully it will be deemed a worthwhile package which does justice to the most important part of the whole thing, the music on the disc itself...

Have a listen on the player above...

Release date 31 August...
