I just realized I missed a word. I meant I don't like any of the Early Years album covers.

Weirdly, even then, Christine sketched the Kiln House cover and John took the Bare Trees cover

And based on a drawing that made the rounds here a couple years back, it seems Christine did some unused artwork for the Bare Trees record, too. Personally, I think they were right to go with John’s photo instead.

Talking about artworks, since Lindsey was the author of this one, I wonder if he still has the original, and if it's hanging in his living room. Perhaps he painted some more recent ones; I don't want to imagine how they look like if he did any in 2018.

Is this really Lindsey? Or ‘painting on cover photograph- Mac James’?
I don’t really see any other evidence of ‘painting’ on the cover

PS- though I felt it bland at the time, I’ve come to really appreciate the Rumours-esque qualities of the SYW cover. Not exactly a classic, but as a representation of the essence of the band and history of the band, I think it’s pretty good.

The album sleeve reminds us of a trivia question the band could not answer. How did the band come up with the title: Mirage? It was Nancy Buckingham but no one seemed to remember. I also forgot after all these years. That would have been the ultimate Mac trivia question.
