Bootleg Covers

Post by geraldmanns »

I don't know if I'm the only one, but I'm really pissed off by all those bootleg titles, i.e. "Up and ate 'em" or "Five alive" and shit. So I started to make my own covers, neutrally in title, designed according to the LP design from that era. I included the tour posters, tickets and live photos from the gig (if available, thanks to BMC) and even made some covers for the live videos from that time. Peter Bradbeer told me, I should make them available to the community so here are the covers for the 1976-1977 stuff:

Enjoy

P.S.: The 1978 GEER covers are work in progress, so if there's some interest, I'll put them on as soon as they're ready.

P.P.S.: I've got problems relating some photographs to the right gig. Someone got any idea how to catalogize them?

And miss out on great bootleg titles like "We Don't Miss Mick Jones" from 1984? :disshame:

Seriously though, I think it's a great idea.

This is a great idea. I always liked the uniformed look of the Bonds artwork done by Julie. Looks like im gonna have to buy more ink. Thank you, looking forward to the next ones.

OK, Whitey, here's a (very) sneak preview. I'm working on it, but it takes a while...
