Design & artwork for print in Norfolk
Rockabilly hero Boy Butfoy, front man of “Jack Rabbit Slim”, with his first solo album backed by many top musicians including the guitar legend that is Darrell Higham. Artwork and packaging now approved and zipped off to the pressing plant!
Thanks Mr Postman (and Alan Wilson!) This lovely piece of vinyl arrived at me office looking ‘sick’ (to use the term in both it’s contexts) which is exactly as intended. Been listening today and it’s mental. Another of the original psychobilly bands from my youth catching a second wind.
Ooh, one of latest 10″ EPs I worked on now arrived back from the pressing plant. The Caravans were always a fave band of mine back in the day, how cool is this to be working on their records! The tracks I’ve heard from this session which appeared on a recent Western Star compilation are right up there with their stuff from the 1980s. Can’t wait to hear this.
Been a great day in the studio for music today as three CD album designs I worked on arrived in the post this morning. Two of these are compilations, one rockabilly the other psychobilly and it makes you realise the quality of bands and the amount of bands in the Western Star ‘stable’. I guess this is what happens when a record label only release recording from their own studio just like Sam Philips and Sun Studios, everybody associated with the studio becomes a family and guesting on other artists tracks. It’s awesome.
The other CD is the fantastic and long overdue second album from Stage Frite sounding considerably more ‘metal’ than the debut CD somewhere between the Long Tall Texans and the Krewmen I thought. Proper job
Artwork for the new 7″ vinyl EP from The Beaver Boys has now been approved and ready for the off. The rock ‘n’ roll just keeps a comin’ and vinyl is thriving in these parts! This one is a special release on red vinyl!!!
