Question About Street Angel
 
I have been downloading album covers recently, and when i downloaded the back cover for street angel, i noticed that it is completely different to the back cover of mine - does anybody have this version?? or is it not real??

That's the back cover to my copy. :shrug: What does the back cover on your copy look like?

And the cut-out spine on that scan made me cackle like nobody's business.

Lol, yes, it must go down as one of the most cheaply designed cd covers of all time.

Its so weird that both of yours are like that. Mine does not have any numbering for the tracks, track 10 on mine only says "Maybe Love" - not "Maybe Love Will Change Your Mind" - Mine also does not say that The Executive Producer Is Parrish - Seeing this was the first time i had heard of him!!

My copy looks exactly like the scan you posted.

Awww... someone rescued it from the bargain bin. :lol:

Josh2003 11-21-2005 04:55 AM

Mine looks like that too...cut-out and all!

danax6 11-21-2005 06:24 AM

That's really bad photo editing. We've had better CD covers designed during our first semester in Multimedia Design. Granted, that was 2001, and the technologies available were a bit more advanced, but still!

Mageboy25 11-21-2005 06:32 AM

Do not forget Stevie's shiity crap looking Barbie Girl wig!!!

WizNicks 11-21-2005 06:53 AM

Mine looks a bit different with other fonts on no track numbers before the tracks! And on my cover there is also not that much legal crap under the tracks! That is probably because my album was not released by Atlantic, mine was released by EMI UK!

I want to take this time to say:


I LOVE STREET ANGEL@#$@#%^#$

Yay! Thats The One I Have - Thank You!! Does Anybody know why it was released under two different designs and two different Record Labels

It's unfortunate that they didn't give it a quick overhaul. :laugh: The cover to Street Angel has to rank amongst the worst album covers of all time. Shoddy design, embarrassing photos, etc. It reeks of Chris Nicks.

While I'm not a huge fan of the back cover of the CD, I think the front cover is exquisite, tho I can't explain why. I love it. I do wish it had more of a "design" but as for the picture of Stevie on the front, I love it.

It is a gorgeous picture - so emotional. But I agree, the whole design kills the picture. I have those fonts on Microsoft Publisher :rolleyes:

The design reminds of the Enchanted Box Set - What was stevie thinking letting her brother design her album covers?? :shrug:

I agree..I especially hate that awful black lettering just smacked over the photo. The poster version is nicer because it's all done in pink..including the lettering. They really should have done it that way for the album cover itself.

You know what really bugs? The title of the album is printed in a font that matches nothing, as is her name. It hurts my corneas.

The pink-hued photos of her are just dire. Looking at that album cover makes you wonder what the hell the contents of the album could possibly be (and if you're brave enough to find out). She's wrapped up in lacy, flowing fabric with a look of pure sadness plastered across her mug. She also appears to be huddled in the corner, contemplating her depression like some woman-child who was just clued in to the fact that her parents took her teeth from under her pillow and not the Tooth Fairy. Quite unsightly.

Flip it over and you have those wide, scary doe-eyes looking at you, giving off quite a guttural feeling of uneasiness. Not to mention the pouty lips that give Barbara Hershey in "Beaches" a run for her money.

I read part of "The Autobiography of an Attitude" at the library a few years back. I wonder if it was reprinted past the twenties (or was it published in the thirties?) because the one I flipped through was as old as dirt. Wasn't he married to Julie Haydon?

Umm...well, she's wrapped up in a f*cking patchwork quilt on the cover of Timespace.

Actually, I think it is an old curtain from the set of a Vincent Price movie. I swear I have seen it on the shelves in the Warner Bros. drapery department.

Well, everyone always talks about how horrible the cover of Street Angel is...but they seem to forget about Timespace. Has anyone ever explained why she's wrapped up in a quilt??

It's my favorite album of all time. It surpasses anything released by any artist.

I love this pic. of her too, It conveys so much emotion, and while street angel is not "AMAZING" I really like it too.:nod:

I just think the album was meant for me. It's my music...my lyrics...my lifestyle. My life is one big "medicore" pop song. I'm corny when I try to be serious...When it comes to love, which I want, I end up messing it up...on purpose? Sometimes. And, to me, that's what the album is about.....being in and out love...being a street angel.....and I'm not making a ton of sense here.......I just love the songs, ok? :laugh:

But you never know, all of a sudden the other week I liked the song Wild Heart, which hadn't happened before.
