The new Damned album is complete brilliance! At this stage in their careers/lives that they can still put out such quality music just makes me so happy.
Yep I agree it's a cracking album. Reminds me of the Black Album/Strawberries era. I love it.

I'd love to have a poster of the basis for the D & E album.

There is a higher resolution scan here: http://stereosociety.com/20/wirNotreDame.shtml

Given that it's all grey-scale anyway, I wonder whether I could get a print shop to run off a decent 17x24 poster from it. Kory or any other graphic designers, how feasible is that?

It might look decent from a distance, but they are certainly lying about it being hi-res. It's only 144 ppi, which is only double the usual 72 ppi that you use for online pics. A true hi-res image would be 300 ppi. Given that, and the original dimensions (less than half of what you want the poster to be), I'd say don't hold your breath. You might be able to contact them and get them to rescan at 300 though.

Just double-checking that you dl'd the hi-res (allegedly) version from the link, not the graphic displayed. Preview is showing it as 1180 x 1667.

Yeah but that doesn't translate to much in inches, I'm afraid, especially given the resolution of the image. The issue is that expanding it is going to magnify the lo-res pixels. Any sort of blowing up from a smaller size is going to have this problem but it gets worse the more you need to blow it up. It's worth a shot since the image is mostly halftone and might look decent from a distance, but it won't be very high quality. You'd have better luck, I think, going with 11x17 or 12x18 at the most.

I was thinking of going with a smallish size anyway, 11 x 16. I've got a few small gig posters like that. Given that the original graphic isn't especially hi-res anyway, I wondered if that would minimize the visual effect of the lost resolution. Anyway, one place said it'd be $20 for the printing, so I can take a chance on that.

edit: Yup, $20 on poster-quality paper. If it doesn't turn out, no big deal.

Yeah I think that will work ok. There will likely be some pixelation, but not nearly as bad as the 17x24 you were thinking about earlier.

However it turns out, I'll post a pic when I get it back later this week.
