I ask because I'm hoping we hear/see something soon. We got an info overload on "In Your Dreams" in those few days back on the 12th - 14th. Album title, release date, 1st single, a few new photos, etc. It was extremely exciting but we haven't heard much of anything new since. Yes, I'm spoiled. I want more info now!

Stevie press releases announcing TISL started off with a blurb on RS.com Feb. 10th 2001, followed by few other mentions in various music sites. Then a big Billboard interview w/ Stevie was published Feb.17th, mentioning a few titles which focused mostly on the high profile collaborations, and the article also talked up Reprise's marketing strategy. The official track list for TISL was unveiled Feb 27th, 2001 on Launch.com - which is now new.music.yahoo.com. This most likely came about because Reprise hosted an album showcase in L.A. as well as playback-listening parties in New York & Chicago to music industry insiders and press as part of their initial marketing strategy.

I'm sure 10 years later, with leaks being a huge concern, Reprise & Stevie will be much more restrictive about printing and distributing full promo disc's of In Your Dreams to music press and radio. As mentioned many times on The Ledge, all of the songs on TISL pretty much leaked before the May 1st release. You could go on Ebay in March or April of 01' and bid on a full advance promo of TISL. I had the promo in my hands 3 weeks before the release date. I did buy the CD the day of release at Tower records. I remember it was so exciting, cause they were also giving away a limited edition promo poster with each purchase while supplies lasted. That was a very cool poster.

Exciting times! I sure hope Reprise offer something special again, similiar to the litho and such when ordering through WBR directly.

for laughs, I visited the NicksFix the other day. When I scrolled on the pic of Stevie on the beach with that weird mirror in front of her, a got an 'album cover" pop up message. My heart instantly sank. I'm afraid that may be it...though amazon is still posting "artwork unavailable" so maybe there's hope. While that photo is interesting and somewhat cool, it certaintly is not cover worthy.

I agree totally! As I've said before, if this is the cover, this will be the 1st album cover of Stevie's I actually dislike and I'm holding back. I'm not impressed with either of the new photo's particularly. There must be better ones out of the hundreds he's reported as taken.

I think both photos are excellent. I sorta hope she chooses the one with the frame. It's different. I don't think Stevie has ever had a bad album cover. Certainly, TISL and The Wild Heart are two of the best album covers ever. TISL in particular. She should of won a grammy for that.

Remember back in early 2001 when it was "reported/posted" that the TISL album cover was going to be the one of her sitting cross legged with her profile? THANK GOD that didn't prove to be true. I think it's a pretty picture but the way she's sitting doesn't make her body look right. Her head looks too big. I'm glad that was scrapped.

So who knows, we might get something for the IYD album cover that will be a surprise and totally amaze us! Here's hoping!

I agree. The shot of the mirror is intriguing, mysterious, surreal... It's a visual riddle that bears scrutiny. It is dream-like, and in your dreams, the laws of physics and light refraction do not apply. I just hope they don't clutter it up with typeface and leave the cover barren ala Lindsey's Out of the Cradle.

I think it's most uninteresting, You barley see Stevie's face, and her image appears to be a bit on the blurry side. I like the beach, I like mirror, but If they were aiming for a surreal/Salvador Dalí-esque effect there needed much more mystery. The stranger the better!. The best parts of Stevie's solo album cover have centered around her unusual & in your face full body poses except for Street Angel. And I even prefer that image over the lifeless image portrayed in the mirror, in the beach... or visa versa. This is Stevie's *dreamy* album. They could have gone in all sorts of directions, and I hope they did conjure up a similiar theme/riddle with a much better shot of Stevie. Cause IMHO this one s**ks. If there is a better image in the liner notes, I will be folding that over to cover this awful cover.

I really like the mirror shot, too. It's very old-school Stevie... reminds me very much of the photos from the Rock A Little era. I have a feeling we haven't seen the pic of what will end up being the album cover, though. I think it's still too soon, and Dave will surprise us with something even better. But if the mirror shot ended up being the cover, I'd have no qualms with that at ALL

I sorta have the feeling that, if one of those images were the front of the CD, Dave would have made a huge deal about it on Twitter.

I'm thinking the album cover will follow the blue/brown/green colour scheme though, which is awesome, cause they are two gorgeous pictures, but neither of them scream "album cover" to me.

Meowi · #**280** 01-29-2011, 02:28 AM

I'm getting more of a Tan, Green, Brown and White feel for the cover.

Amazon has now made the single available online using the mirror/beach image.

I really hope this confirms this picture is just the single cover.
