As to the Repin painting for the cover, I couldn't agree more with previous posts. It's a fabulous image, and there's no harm in distancing the score from the not-so-good film it accompanied. Gordon Thomas

I must add myself to the folks who love this beautiful cover art. It is perfect and adds an elegance that this score certainly deserves. Don't change a thing. I can't wait for this release. It's at the top of my own holy grails. Just worried about getting carried away driving while listening to "The Battle of Dubno" or "Chase At Night".

Yes, I think that this should be done more often. The FSM output is different: that relates in an almost academic way to the films themselves, their production, and the scores' place in that, so the film references are paramount. But a good image like that famous painting will attract a wider curious audience and give the thing wings it might not otherwise have, in concert, broadcast circles etc.. And most importantly of all ... it makes a great cover.

Don't change a thing. The painting is great and works extremely well as a cover. I know that this is just a mockup, James, but personally I would use a capital 'S' in the word "score" and add a larger space between "by" and "Franz." The use of colour in the lettering is dead on.

I thought I might try and insert the heads of Yul Brynner, Tony Curtis, Sam Wanamaker , Brad Dexter and Perry Lopez onto the bodies? I thought the Cossack in the middle, wearing a blue hat and smoking a pipe and leaning over the letter writer, bore a striking resemblance to Yul Brynner In fact at first glance I thought it WAS Yul Brynner!!!!!!!!!
