Rotatey Diskers

Ironic that a band that started out as "Generation Terrorists" are now in favour of propping up multinational corporations like Universal and SonyBMG. How times change!

Bit uninspired this week, so I've taken the idea I used for last week's Remi Nicole single cover and used it on the LP! Think of it as a corporate identity carried across multiple releases like the record companies do. Or a bit of a cheat! ^_^ http://i199.photobucket.com/albums/aa240/45cat/RemiNicoleLP.jpg

Thanks for posting this. It's a great antidote to the rabble rousing cr@p printed in the media. For every PC nutter story printed in the ranting press there are plenty of other people going about their daily lives without offending each other.

Extraordinary! Thanks for posting. Planet Of The Apes here we come!

Great covers so far - here's mine. http://www.mediamax.com/neilbaylis/Hosted/LostHighway.jpg

01 Christmas wrapping - The Waitresses 02 White Christmas - Bing Crosby (my fave: Darlene Love) 03 Frosty the snowman - The Ronettes 04 I believe in Father Christmas - Greg Lake 05 Winter wonderland - Standard (my fave: Darlene Love) 06 2000 miles - The Pretenders 07 Sleigh ride - Standard (my fave: The Ronettes) 08 Hazy shade of winter - The Bangles 09 Rockin' around the Christmas tree - Brenda Lee 10 Little Saint Nick - The Beach Boys 11 Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow - Dean Martin 12 Step into Christmas - Elton John 13 The Christmas song - Nat King Cole 14 Santa baby - Eartha Kitt 15 Stop the cavalry - Jona Lewie 16 Wonderful Christmas time - Paul McCartney 17 Blue Christmas - Elvis Presley 18 Have yourself a merry little Christmas - Judy Garland (I only know Sinatra's version) 19 Santa Claus is coming to town - Bruce Springsteen (my fave: The Ronettes) 20 Christmas time (don't let the bells end) - The Darkness Where's 'Run Rudolph run' by Chuck Berry (#36 in 1963) :( And every other track off Spector's Christmas album for that matter! iTunes list 102 different versions of 'Have yourself a merry little Christmas' :o

I use Adobe Photoshop CS2, with occasional bits done in Adobe Illustrator CS2 (like the words "rock 'n' roll" on the Remi Nicole cover). I've even just used pen and paper and scanned it in a few times. Basically it doesn't matter what you use so long as you've got a strong concept to begin with. Every week I see covers on Buzzjack that are far better than the ones used by the record companies! :lol:

Wow! I wasn't expecting that! Thanks for the votes everybody. Love notsohampson and Medicatedsoaps' covers.

Cheers for the votes everybody and congrats to russt and Jark for two great covers. As there aren't many new releases around Christmas, and this competition started late in the year why don't we do covers for all the ones we missed earlier in the year? Perhaps Jark could pick out 20, say, and we could design one of them. Just a thought.

This is my first Christmas at Buzzjack so apologies if this has been done before. What are your favourite Christmas tunes? Here's mine (one for each of the 12 days of Christmas). 1. The Waitresses - Christmas Wrapping 2. The Pogues - Fairytale Of New York 3. Darlene Love - White Christmas 4. Wizzard - I Wish It Could Be Christmas Every Day 5. The Ronettes - Frosty The Snowman 6. Greg Lake - I Believe In Father Christmas 7. Darlene Love - Winter Wonderland 8. The Pretenders - 2000 Miles 9. The Ronettes - Sleigh Ride 10. Chuck Berry - Run Rudolph Run 11. Slade - Merry Xmas Everbody 12. Go Home Productions - Carpenter's Christmas

I like Nick Cave but don't care much for the other artists you list. What about Radio Birdman, The Saints, The Hoodoo Gurus, The Lime Spiders, The Church, Bailter Space, etc etc etc! Like all of them more than INXS or Midnight Oil.

This looks a bit nightmarish - which seems to suit NIN somehow. http://www.mediamax.com/neilbaylis/Hosted/NINyearzeroremixed.jpg

Thanks guys!

Hmmm. I think this one is going to get lost among all the Girls Aloud covers… but what the heck. http://i199.photobucket.com/albums/aa240/45cat/HMVNicole.jpg

1. Prove it. 2. Nearly as much is stolen by the staff and, presumably, they aren't chavs by your bigoted standards (smiley notwithstanding) because they've got jobs!

Thank you kindly. :dance:

In fact I've just checked the page for Oasis' "(What's the story) morning glory" on wikipedia where it is claimed that it sold 347,000 in it's first week. So there you go. ;)

What puzzles me about this list as that everything is so recent. Are you really saying that something like "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" didn't sell very many the week it was released? Or are you saying that you don't know the figures. In which case wikipedia's list is somewhat inaccurate - so no change there then!
