Has anyone done covers for these, I'm struggling to find useable art:
Until September
Masters of the Universe
The Dark Crystal


Not yet but I do have some useable artwork for the latter two. I don't feel particularly moved to make anything for Until September though, I'm quite happy with the Intrada cover.

And a quick question for raferjanders and Chris: what are your go-to fonts for covers?

Yep, choosing the right fonts can prove troublesome and time consuming. I was drawing from various sources but have settled for DaFont - free, plentiful and provides all I need for the moment smile

Yavar, it's been an unexpected pleasure making these covers. Did you check my earlier Bernstein posts?

JTWFan, here are the best quality covers I could find for those three scores:

The Dark Crystal: https://www.albumartexchange.com/coverart/gallery/tr/trevorjones_thedarkcrystal_87n3.jpg

(They also have the specific Numenorean Music and LLL Records album covers in HQ at AlbumArtExchange as well.)

Also, the front cover needs to be cleaned up a little bit in comparison to the above link, but if you want the back cover of the LP edition it's here:

Masters of the Universe HQ LLL cover: http://lalalandrecords.com/pix/masters_universe.jpg

Intrada cover: http://store.intrada.com/core/media/media.nl/id.7197/c.ACCT67745/.f?h=2c8bd1db4abf58d9e2a4

P.S. raferjanders, I've been following all of your fantastic cover posts, of course! I thought of another three Friedhofers to ask for: Richtofen and Brown/Private Parts (a late twofer I forgot also in need of separate covers) and The Sun Also Rises -- I never liked the LP cover for that. Also, I pulled out my Hilda Crane/Mamie Stover disc to rip it for use with your cover, and to my shame I was reminded that Hilda Crane is by the great David Raksin, not Hugo Friedhofer. I'd still love a cover for it though. smile

Yeah. Well-done guys, posting these amazing covers, some I've seen are actually better than cd club covers. Nice job all. Thanks.

Hi Yavar, thanks very much for posting all the links. Unfortunately I cannot access AAX due to that Blockscript nonsense, any chance you could post the actual cover here?



I have the original covers from LLL, Intrada and Kritz, what I'm after is customs using the art I posted. I'll probably get around to doing them myself, but thought I'd check here if anyone had already tackled them.

Thanks again.

Awesome covers yet again, raferjanders! May I perhaps enquire where you get your artwork, it's always of such a high quality?

Sorry JTWFan, I just tried uploading the imaged to PostImages and it won't work for me; perhaps the image is too big. Are you able to try, raferjanders, since you also have access to AlbumArtExchange?

By the way, I love your Thunder in the East cover and your Wild Harvest cover is actually a big improvement on the Intrada, thanks! Now you've made me greedy and I wonder if you also might try improving on the FSM covers for Above and Beyond, Never So Few, Between Heaven and Hell, Soldier of Fortune (acutally FSM didn't even give this one a full cover), and The Bravados. And maybe BYU's Broken Arrow and Varese's The Young Lions?

You're doing such an awesome job. Thanks so much!

Yavar

I uploaded it to Flickr.

Yes that's the one I was trying to share because I think it's the best, though as I mentioned they also have the Numenorean and LLL covers.

Thanks Yavar. I do have the Numenorean and LLL covers already, managed to snag them when AAX was still working for me many moons ago.

Nice cover Josh. Do you perhaps have a version that does not feature the rocks protruding from the sides? It looks like that element has been added to the original poster art, not sure why. Otherwise, fantastic cover!

They were added to the poster art, and unfortunately I wasn't able to find anything for those sections of the picture that were worth a damn (as it stands, the version seen above is a composite of several different sources — this one was complicated). If I could find more detailed key art for the periphery, I may revisit this one.

Has anyone had a crack at an alternate for 'The Shawshank Redemption'? I love the La La Land cover but I'd love an alternate for the extras etc.
