As for TISL, the cover worked well, but that inside image of her sitting was very poor, way to much photoshopping to make her look young. CD covers have trended to be more about showing just a face CU or a body shot, and less so about being a piece of art. Will be interesting to see what Warners goes with on this new release.

I liked the cover and inside photos of TISL. But the so called out takes caused a stir with me when I first saw them on 7W. To me they looked fake to all hell and Photoshopped. I'm still trying to master the standing on sky high platform boots on my tip toes like that. but it wasn't until someone notified me that they were possibly stolen photos with lawyers looking into it that I kinda sorta thought they were real. I still can't get over how the hell she stood on the tips of her boots like that. It wasn't human.

Trouble in Shangri La is my pick. I think it's one of the best album covers of all time. Definitely the best to come out that year.

The Wild Heart is my runner up. Great album cover.

I also like Crystal Visions and Timespace.

Trouble In Shangri La. Not only is it my fav Stevie album cover, it's the most beautiful album cover and packaging/art of any album I can think of .

I voted Wild Heart.

I don't get all the love for TISL.
Stevie's got face and I want
to see it!

Bella Donna....with Trouble In Shangri-La as a VERY close second.

You did on 6 other covers. I think she was going for something new but still wanted that full body shot of herself, so that was the inspiration for the cover of TISL I think. A different artistic approach.

Yes I know. She looked sickly and she was.

I don't get the Bella Donna votes. That cover is very blah.

Is there a way to see who voted for what after casting your vote? Now that I voted (for RAL) there's no link to 'see results' just only 'You have already voted in this poll'. So if you don't vote, you can read who voted for which cover, but after you have voted, it becomes secret?
I like it!

You can just click on the number of votes each choice has, and it will show you who voted for what. (the underlined number)

^ Thank You, TerraRhiannon. So obvious that I never would have thought of it, thank you for helping this most impaired Ledgie.
I just wanted to see who voted for what, seems all the teens and 20 somethings voted for TISL- as did Viv, a teen and 20-something in his heart and in his photographs of other males, forever (!)-
Is a joke ok, Viv? I mean it as a joke. Disclosure needed: Viv and I had words in a PM weeks ago which he graciously apologized first for, and I apologized back. I think we're ok. Happy Holidays, SirViv.
So, that out of the way, Viv recently wrote here on The Ledge- and I found it fascinating- that TISL doesn't even qualify as a SN solo album, for him. I loved the mystery in his statement, and it deserved a lot more attention! Now Viv thinks it's her best album cover, even if it doesn't qualify as a SN solo album, which fascinates me, too. Guess I'm easy to confuse (Terra's click on the number clarification) and fascinate tonight. And the cover and content are 2 different things, so I can understand liking one and not the other.
Viv, your TISL comment was just a provocative statement that didn't get explored a lot, which I mean as a compliment. NOW, I like Stevie from behind as well as anyone, and I get that she's running away from the 'trouble in shangri la' and the colors and fonts are pretty. Guess I just wanted her face.

I"m 41 and voted for TISL. To me, it's obviously the best cover and one of the best covers of all time.
