Never liked this-give me something from "Bang Masters" and I'll be happy.

Something from 'Hard nose the highway' would be great, such an underplayed album. Great to hear vintage Van anyhow.

Van Morrison may have written a lot of tunes (arguably, 7 tunes with 300 different titles), but I wouldn't consider him a trend-setter. By 1978, it was quite trendy to wear tight, white trousers - due mostly to 1977's "Saturday Night Fever". That whole look was pretty common by then, and it doesn't look as if a whole lot of thought or effort went into that cover anyhow.
"Okay, Van; what do you want on the cover of your next album?"
"I don't know, just take a picture of me sitting on that stool over there."
"Wait - I got a great idea: put on those white jeans and the black t-shirt."

"Anyone got a light? I can't get these matches out of the pocket. By the way, can I scribble on the cover with a couple of crayons before it goes to press?"
Please, please, do not put the album art on the artist's back. Album art has always been the country of the record companies. I know a lovely, folky singer from my homeland that was amazed at how white her teeth were when she saw her latest CD cover. Nice pic, nice bit of photoshop...artists do not do the marketing on many albums. |
