TommyK, I loved your description of liner notes. Don't take it for granted that every knows, about these things. Wanna take a stab at: turntable?

Several years ago we donated a bunch of old LPs to an auction. When they came up, a young preteen asked her dad what they were. After she didn't seem to understand records or albums, he finally said, "big CDs". She raised her hand and bought the whole bunch. I've often wondered if she tried to play them on her CD player.

Frank Zappa said that the thing that he hated about CD's was that it meant the end of Album Art.
My older brother and I had an original Satanic Majesty's Request album. The one with all the Stones sitting with the planets moving around them. Brian Jones had a wizard's hat. The Holograph image. After the first issue, the albums just had a photo. My Mom threw it out, cuz the album was scratched.
"Screw the record Mom! The Cover is what was worth money!"
Just wanted to tell that tale...

Not t'be a "technical" f@cktard (well, maybe), but it wasn't a hologram. The process is called lenticular.
It's basically two (sometimes more) images that are overlaminated with a piece of plastic that has a series of v-shaped grooves that act as "lenses" that allow you to perceive a "3-D" and/or moving/changing image(s).
The whole "trick" rests squarely upon getting the laminate registered/aligned correctly to the art. It's pretty close tolerances (especially for small images) . . .


Nobody misses album cover art more than I . . .

We could do a whole topic on Album art. Things just got so creative then. The inside of the Derik and the Domonios "Layla" album was done very well. BTW, I still have my Satanic Majesty's Request Album cover and LP.

I can only assume the 'surprise' Tommyk's referring to on the Sting album is the fact that he plays a lute on it.

Yeah Cliff, I just didn't know what it was called. You use-ta get that stuff in Cracker Jack boxes. That album one was just particularly LARGE. Good for stoners.

There was a UK company entitled Hipgnosis that was formed by some friends of PinkFloyd.

In their time, they (and some of the members who struck out on their own) created some truly imaginative stuff. A vast majority of it was on some masterpiece albums.

There was a book out about them years ago entitled "Walk Away, Renee" that documented a lot of their work (and some of the the "back-stories" behind the art, as well). I've got a copy, but it's probably LONG out-of-print.

Well worth seeking out . . .

Yup.

I would truthfully laugh if someone pulled out an Ovation during an acoustic recording session."

Sigh.

In my experience, producers and engineers love Ovies. That guy can truthfully laugh all he wants.

THE SURPRISE is that while 'Sting' sings on all the songs, 'Sting', a relative new comer to the lute, only plays the lute on two of them! The rest is done by his 'master', Edin Karamazov. (not a bad way to score free lessons!)

To his credit I have never purchased a 'Police' nor a 'Sting' album. He never was my cup-o-coffee. But, I saw him interviewed on a Sunday morning show, talking about his lute playing and his new album. I thought, "'Sting'on lute? I thought he was a Rock and Roller! This I gotta hear." Again I saw him in a couple of scenes of 'Studio 60' with Karamozov. I bought the album for the music. 'Sting' was just the bait that caught my attention. Karamazov is fantastic. Money well spent.

I still miss The Police. Sting was no less a prick then, but the music was awesome. He just wanted to grow up to be a jazz singer, or maybe just a pretentius twit.

Just another good reason to be careful what you wish for.

Live, they were amazing.

Mr. Sumner has done quite a variety of musical styles.

And fairly well, I will grudgingly admit.

His Mack The Knife puts paid to the Bobby Darin version.
