Title: Best Single Cover?
Völlig Totall - January 19, 2009 05:51 PM (GMT)
Choose five. I had to leave out some because there's a limit of 40 answers, it seems. :(
elvischomsky - January 19, 2009 07:27 PM (GMT)
I vote for two.
Elastic Man and Couldn't Get Ahead.
Elastic Man for its blueness and if you look closely Fall fans will will bore you to death.
CGA for the chocolate bar.

If you call up a second forum page you can split your screen and run down the singles covers, real easy.

Big mistake now covered up.
I know what I meant.
Not sure anyone spotted it, so there.
Anyway, here is MES looking sultry and cool.

Yes.
Apparently, if you look closely there is also a big hobgoblin.

Did not notice the choose five part :(
As it is I've gone for this - I've already mentioned several times on the forum that this sleeve hangs on my wall.

I tried voting x5 but computer says no.
Woulda been late 80s singles for me. Tacky badges, 3d covers, the works.
Great days.

MES' lyrics printed on bogroll are as beautiful a work of art as they would be printed on expensive paper -- so it is with a Fall sleeve. -_-
PS -- I got those images from the discography page (my TT 7" is in even worse condition). :D

It's obviously well used, as is right, so it's to your credit. :)

Couldn't Get Ahead - glad to see its so liked.
I prefer covers with gruppe or shots of MES - those abstract, bright coloured things just induce a headache.

Voted for this cover, has a slim lead over Elastic Man. :)

Reformation! The Single has a great cover in my opinion. Frightening looking Mexican wrestlers looking cool. I really like the face on Totally Wired as well.

Yeah Savage Pencil. He's great isn't he? I am always amazed by how Karl and Mark are so distorted looking on this single cover and yet still so recognizable.
