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.

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.

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.

is that a camera in her left hand?

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

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.

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

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.

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

MoonSister75 · #54 08-06-2014, 07:30 AM

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

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

I think Herbie will have his own little section in the book with something really moving written by Stevie about her old friend...

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

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.
