Hard Format has some great shots of the die-cut Orchestral Maneuvers In The Dark LP cover. The cover was designed by Ben Kelly and Peter Saville for the Dindisc label. Die-cut is always a good idea and I love the vibrations between these blue and orange shades, something about it absolutely works.
More info here, lots of other great sleeves at Hard Format.
I own a copy of this and it truly is a lovely thing to hold in your hands.
Sounds quite good too 😉
Ah that’s gorgeous. I can see where Air got the inspiration for their “Premiers Symptomes” CD sleeve, too.
That’s a really interesting collection. The OMD ones are definite standouts.
Sounds quite good too
I remember record shopping and always loving the way that particular album looked but I never picked it up.
Looks beautiful but like many of Saville’s sleeves lost the band and label serious money because of the production cost – thus is it a nice piece of art or bad design?
I love this album all around!!
