The Dealer Single Cover

[welcomechris]

Thoughts on these?

[Jondalar]

I love the cover. I also like the single cover. She is not trying to hide her face at this age.

[wheart]

I am very happy with the album cover. I think it's very well done and captures Stevie's essence. I really like how the titles are placed, and the fact that 24K gold is set apart from Songs from the Vault. That looks to be Stevie's handwriting which is a nice touch. I can't tell if this is a new pic or taken in the past 10 or 15 years.

The single cover is odd - I love it because I love all things Rock a Little but she's definitely looked better. The hair is fab and I like the intense look. So yeah, I guess I like them both. :nod:

[PenguinHead]

I love the cover. I also like the single cover. She is not trying to hide her face at this age.

To me, these images don't look current - more like mid-eighties (The clothes and hair give it away. ). Pictures from the vault.

[Jondalar]

To me, these images look to be years old, as far back as 1985. They don't look current; more like pictures from the vault.

I think they r current. Her nose looks big on proportion to other features. That is a age thing.
Photoshop does wonders.

[Bandon]

I wonder if these are from the Polaroid shots and enhanced.

[loverly13]

I think they r current. Her nose looks big on proportion to other features. That is a age thing.
Photoshop does wonders.

I definitely think these look wayyyyyy too much like the RAL era selfies to be current. Photoshop does wonders, but even her face shape has changed with age. These are very 80s Stevie.

[KarmaContestant]

I love when Stevie embraces her Rock A Little-ness. :D

[Jondalar]

The cover doesn't look young. It's feathered hard to tell

Yes, her face in the album cover photo looks like her face on Rock a Little. I can't really place The Dealer, but definitely older. Sanne can probably tell when by Stevie's hair.

The hair is a good time-stamped reference. Big , wild eighties-style. It's been a long time since we've seen hair like this. A close look at the style of her clothes - big and baggy - also dates the photo.

[HoursAndHours]

Nevermind the hair, look at her outfit. LOL.

[sorcerer999]

Based on the hair, I'd say this picture (for "The Dealer" single) was taken sometime after the Wild Heart tour but before RAL was released. :shrug:

[bombaysaffires]

the single photo is definitely from way back.

the cover of the album looks more recent……but hard to say how recent.

[Japhry]

Based on the hair, I'd say this picture (for "The Dealer" single) was taken sometime after the Wild Heart tour but before RAL was released. :shrug:

Yep. The Dealer definitely looks to be from the time between Wild Heart and RAL. I'm thinking that the album cover could be in the photos taken over her from around the Trouble in Shangri-La era though. Not that I have anything to base that off of-but something about her eyes or eye make up reminds me:shrug: of TISL era photos...

[gssmith]

Love the album cover! The handwriting is a nice touch and songs from the vault is separated. This might be her best cover yet. The single cover is a little weird but ok.

The 1:30 part of the song sounds fantastic! Something tells me this album will be as good as Bella Donna and wild heart!!

[HoursAndHours]

This cover looks so good next to The Wild Heart in iTunes. I have the vinyl of Wild Heart, I think I might get the vinyl of this just to stand them up next to each other on display, lol.

[wheart]

The Dealer pic is full on Rock a Little...the eye make up and hair are the deciding factors. She also had the same somewhat hard, lifeless expression in many pics from that era.

[HoursAndHours]

The cover art reminds me of the shot on the back of Rock A Little, like they could be from the same photo session.

[He's So Unusual]

I agree. I love Stevie during the Rock a Little era. I've always wanted a big poster of the picture used on the front cover of the Rock a Little Tour programme.

[KarmaContestant]

Yes!

I've always wanted a poster of one of the hand-tinted photos from the OTOSM tourbook.

like this one: http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i204/SortaSavageLike/Other%20Side%20of%20the%20Mirror%20Tourbook%20High-Res%20Scans/th_scan012.jpg

[Artemis]

I'd say the album cover is recent, just photoshopped really heavily, lightning works wonders. It's totally gorgeous though. The Dealer picture though is very much RAL era, it's coked-up Stevie fierceness.

[He's So Unusual]

Yes!

That's a cool pic. This one is my favourite from TOSOTM book:

I also love the t-shirt with Stevie holding the tambourine.

[Sanne2]

I think Stevie is wearing this outfit on the 24 Karat Gold cover:

And another promo/single cover that popped up today:
http://i.imgur.com/hLRFzFN.jpg
All pics they used so far are from '84-'85.

That's a gorgeous new pic. I love it when she does new stuff to her hair. I'm so glad she dug out that feathery hair net thing again. Still looks fabulous.

[James89]

This looks like the thing that she wore on her head on the back of the Rock a Little album cover.

[Sanne2]

That's a gorgeous new pic. I love it when she does new stuff to her hair. I'm so glad she dug out that feathery hair net thing again. Still looks fabulous.

That's an old photo, all the pics released so far are old but previously unseen, I'm willing to bet she didn't even do a new photoshoot for this aslbum.

[Jondalar]

I think they are new. You can make a 90 year old look 30 in Photoshop.

[James89]

I'm pretty sure the one on the album page on iTunes is new. The one where she's wearing that thing on her head.

[KarmaContestant]

Nope. That *for certain* is an old RAL era photo. You can tell by her gaunt appearance and the dark RAL tour eye makeup.

All of these photos are likely to be in the photobook CD, and are most likely Stevie's own Polaroid selfies.

That photo especially looks new.

[KarmaContestant]

Yes, but why would they? Why would Stevie get dressed up in old outfits, and old hairstyles, and old makeup styles, and have a photoshoot, and then have the photos edited to make herself look younger when it would be far simpler - and free - to just use old photos? Especially when a 40 page book of those very same old photos is coming with the deluxe version of the CD, and the old Polaroids are mentioned in virtually every promo blurb for the album?

It just doesn't make sense to spend the money recreating vintage photos when using actual vintage photos is an option.

[KarmaContestant]

That photo especially looks new.

I promise you, it's not. And it I am proven wrong, I'll video myself printing this page, eating it, and will post the video here. :D

[Sanne2]

That photo especially looks new.

I'm sorry, but there's honestly nothing about that photo (or any of the others) that looks "new", everything screams Rock A Little. My guess is that all the photos that are used for promo will be featured in the photobook and are from her own personal archives (the so called "selfies") and probably Herbert Worthington's archive.

[Jondalar]

Yes, but why would they?

Those photos don't look that hard to recreate. Judging from the cover she had very good graphic designers. Why would she because it's brand new album.

I think it is indeed the same coat she's wearing...

Stevie may look great for her age, but there is just no way the photos on the album cover or the single are any younger than the 80s. She looks great in those picture because they were taken 30 years ago, not because of photoshop or lighting. :shrug:

are you kidding this is a dream come true for her 90% of it ( work ) was done already she had to do a vocal she not going to recreate photos

[Sanne2]

Exactly, it's like Crystal Visions where she used old photos and lets not forget the photo for the IYD doc cover was from a litho that came with the Soundstage dvd in 2009. She's not doing a new photoshoot when it's not necessary and I think she won't do one to promote 24K, and why should she, there are plenty of fabulous old pics to use.

[sue]

I think the photos are old ones, Stevie is a beautiful woman who has aged well. But her mouth is different these days. Like most 65+ she no longer has that pout. And if she has the original pics why bother.

[Jondalar]

you may be right about that

[Bandon]

I can't believe there are fans who think these are current photos :laugh: W.E. Anyway I think it's hilarious that Stevie was way ahead of the general public by like 30 years when it came to the whole "selfie" thing she was into in the 80's. At that time, I don't remember anyone taking any pics of themselves, nevermind multiple..period...does anyone else? I don't know if that's a good thing our kind of sad given our current self-absorbed culture. :laugh::laugh::laugh:

[Jondalar]

I am solo happy with the cover. It's gorgeous and creative and I love the type. It really stands out.

[James89]

I agree. Deep down I wasn't expecting a cover as fantastic as this. I was starting to think the cover would include that photo of Stevie that was first shown with the first news of the album. The one with the orangey background and Stevie looking high.

[starshine]

Yes, but why would they? Why would Stevie get dressed up in old outfits, and old hairstyles, and old makeup styles, and have a photoshoot, and then have the photos edited to make herself look younger when it would be far simpler - and free - to just use old photos?

It just doesn't make sense to spend the money recreating vintage photos when using actual vintage photos is an option. I totally agree with what you've said. Old photos /Polaroids used from the 80's. To me you can really see it in her face on the cover and the old outfit & make up. There's no doubt in my mind that these are older pictures not current ones. Plus with the deluxe booklet why couldn't they have just made it a 50 page booklet instead of 48 pages? Its only 2 pages from 50 , would 2 more pictures have been hard to add. It would've been nice. I do wonder what the poster for the LP will be besides the LPC, I wonder if they do a multi picture poster. That would be really really nice to have. :shrug::D

[StreetAngel86]

I love when Stevie embraces her Rock A Little-ness. :D


aaaah my kindred spirit.
me too :xoxo:
i wonder how much she actually remembers from that era


the single photo is definitely from way back.

the cover of the album looks more recent……but hard to say how recent.

looks 80s.
is that a camera in her left hand?



Nope. That *for certain* is an old RAL era photo. You can tell by her gaunt appearance and the dark RAL tour eye makeup.

and here's that head thing
circa 81

Seriously, this woman is from a group that used the same four giant heads for Unleashed that they used for SYW in 2003. Given an excuse to use vintage photos, of course she's going to jump on it.

At least since Christine's back, they can't do it again for their On With The Show tour photos, lol. They'd have to go all the way back to The Dance. :p

Please, they will just get a giant head of Christine and stick it on a poster along with the other four. :laugh:

I guess with Herbert Worthington having passed away, Stevie is going to say something special about him in the photobook liner notes.

That's a nice tribute, I'll look forward to reading it.

[SameGlassTable]

Great cover ..
If I has to put a date on these pictures I would say 1985 .

[MoonSister75]

Totally loving this cover - the lettering, the gold colouring, the photo, the hat! It's all gorgeous :D

I even love the 24KG title now, and I really wasn't sure about it.

I hope. He is a huge part of the way that the world sees Stevie literally starting with the Rumours album cover.

[GarboSpeaks!]

The Dealer cover pic, I have an alternate of and have had for easy 10 years now, and it's an original faded with age, so that right there tells me it's an old version. I was pretty confident about it being RAL era, but still on fence about that. As for cover pic, I thought it COULD be a current pic, but Stevie is really packaging the nostalgia we know, want and love, so I think to give that feel all photos would be vintage. There are plenty of new pics to be had (coughcough HELLO FM-more for this tour vs. photoshopped SYW era please) with the FM gigs. 24 Karat Gold (imo) is all about the throwback.
