Least favourite CT cover art

[TG]

OK guys and gals, we've had a favourite CT cover art strand, let's have a least favourite CT cover art strand.

I'll kick things off by proffering the much too dark and ghastly 'Pink Opaque'.

[Phil Lawton]

Gaff

Must be "Four Calendar Cafe", along with the mutated versions on the singles it spawned. It looks like either an explosion in a haberdashers or the vomit of an omnivore.

[Scott]

Same here Phil, and I found FCC cover art is most common in the form of posters etc for sale...I want a giant poster of Loves Easy Tears or EiaSB...that would be awesome...

[mmmender]

i love the cover for pink opaque!

i do dislike the FCC album cover as well.....although oddly enough my favourite cover of all time is the summerhead cd single!!

i'm also not a huge fan of the twinlights or otherness artwork - yawn!

the bonus cd in the box set with dials
i know its not really an album but all the others are cool
including the lush albums which are the bastard stepchildren of the cocteau twins covers.

i just want to say well done to phil for using the word 'haberdasher'!
(though you would have got even more points for 'chapeau shop')

what's that tapping sound...? :-)

[The Boy With A Thorn In His Side]

-i-, Are you a Spinal Tap fan perchance?

[Mr Humpheys]

Talking of haberdashers, Grace Brothers in London has a fantastic haberdashery department which you would all do well to visit.

[Victoria]

Sunburst and Snowblind...
The Moon and the melodies cover are beautiful, too...

[john anderson]

we asked for least favorite and we got a response to ones she liked but who can argue. not i

[coldplay]

yes Badly-Thorned-Boy, -i- is a Tap fan. how can anyone not be?

[Victoria]

John Anderson:
Again I'm sorry. I have to tell you that I don´t speak and write english very well... I´m doing my best. Anyway, I need
patience... I hope you can do it.
(I hate to use translation programs. I want to lear for myself)
Only now I understood the topic of this conversation.
ja,ja,ja.
I'm shame of my mistakes.

Well, I insist I love all the covers of Cocteau Twins...
Maybe it's because is very difficult to me to get the original C.D. (I have to travel to Brasil and Argentina to get them, specially the E.P. It' s a hard work for me. Thats way, I'm so happy each time when I find an original disc or a vinyl disc of Cocteau Twins)

So, emotionally I'm not able to look the uglyness of the covers...
Be nice with me...
I just want to comunicate with people from other countries but with the same passion...

Bye

[john anderson]

i honestly never meant that comment as an insult i actually that it was kind of cute. and as far as your english it appears to me that your doing great i don't speak any other language so i'm in no place to talk.

[Scott]

And I think Sunburst and Snowblind cover is a rare gem..

[TG]

If I'm not very much mistaken, I think the original thread related to peoples least favourite CT cover art.....

[The Boy With A Thorn In His Side]

Ohhh.

Here we go again.

-The Boy With A Thorn In His Side

[Ben]

Thorny

It's more a case of here you go again.

[Scott]

Heh...quite right TG...Victoria misposted her fav on this thread...John was just saying he meant no insult and all that...I just thoght i'd chime in agreement with one of Victoria's fav's as originally posted, even if it was in the wrong thread...

[Victoria]

I'm not ungry with John!!!!
I did try to write an explication of my wrong!!!
I have a great humor sense...
You can't imagine the lot of jokes that my friends have "dedicate" to me for this... But I have been laughing a lot!!!! So, I tell them: "Well, I mistake but I have the courage to write and try to communicate!!!
(A lot of my friends read the discussion board or even translate this, but they don't write because they are afraid to write some wrong!!!! jajaja This is not important for me... I love this space and even if someone
give me insults, my happiness would be alive!!!!



And I know John is a gentleman!!!!

Peace and love for all the people who live in our planet...

[noddy]

its just got to be FFC! FUCKING FUCKING CRAP!
i swear it was just so unoriginal... it just looked like some wanabe band cover. like a frente or something... sigh.... i guess it didnt help that it was also a sudden change in style after a long while of swooshy phwooshy cover designs ala 23 envelope...
anyway we are over it.....
nod

[orange rind]

milk & kisses is feckin horrendous

[zed]

hmmmm.

right.

after looking them over, i've got to say, FCC does
nothing for me.
that doesn't mean it's bad, just for a CT cover it's very
obviously not up to snuff.

Milf and kisses is a very close second.
