Design & artwork for print in Norfolk
Jack Rabbit Slim have been one of UKs most successful rockabilly bands of recent years. Many albums and singles and gigs around the world but all good things come to an end. This is Jack Rabbit Slim’s final album. Artwork now approved and sent of for release on 12″ 33RPM vinyl just like the old days 🙂
New design just approved for a 24 track CD album by 1960s British rock ‘n’ roll legend and film star; John Leyton of “Johnny Remember Me” fame (later a psychobilly classic covered by The Meteors).
From Alan Wilson’s sleeve notes…
“For me, a lifelong fan of British Rock n Roll & pre-Beatles Brit-pop, getting a phone call sometime in 2005 to record John Leyton was a dream come true. I remember at the time thinking it must be a friend playing a practical joke, but thankfully, this opportunity turned out to be genuine.”
This band was a big part of my teenage years back in the 1980s and they’re still recording quality, original rockabilly. The vinyl EP released last year was one of their best yet in my opinion so looking forward to hearing this new CD album immensely. Fantastic front cover artwork, my job was to build the rest of the packaging to complement this cover including multi-page booklet, inlay and CD print.
I’ve just been wrestling the new Gruff’s EP artwork into shape for the pressing plant. This one’s going to be on green vinyl with 4 tracks, 2 from the excellent recent album plus a couple of new tracks too! Psychobilly will never die!!!
If you haven’t heard of the Ace Cafe then I’d be very, very surprised. The legendary spot for bikers and hot rodders and great ‘greaser’ music celebrates 80 years in business this year. To celebrate this fantastic double CD of rockin’ tracks featuring gas guzzling steeds of the two and four wheel variety is in production for Western Star and my artwork has just been approved and tearin’ up the road on it’s way to the pressing plant!!
