Joe G Posted July 7, 2003 Report Share Posted July 7, 2003 I just read a review of it, and found out that they do indeed take Tenderly at a rapid pace, so that comment was uninformed. Sorry! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noj Posted July 7, 2003 Report Share Posted July 7, 2003 Clearly the cover created with the free Photoshop filter wins. HORRENDOUS. I actually passed on this great album a few times based on cover art alone: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soul Stream Posted July 7, 2003 Report Share Posted July 7, 2003 I don't know how to get an image up on a post.... So, could someone please show us the "money shot" for my vote for 32's worst albums cover? Groove Holmes "Groove's Groove." The most uninspired cover, maybe even edging out "Crisscraft" in apathy.

Jim Alfredson Posted July 7, 2003 Report Share Posted July 7, 2003 Those "Jazz When You're Alone" et al covers should all be called "Jazz For Skinny White Broads" based on the covers. Just goes to show how dangerous Photoshop can be in the wrong hands. PURE EVIL!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Claude Posted July 7, 2003 Report Share Posted July 7, 2003 (edited) I don't know how to get an image up on a post.... You need to copy the URL of the image and put it between IMG tags in your post. Like this: [img=http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B000006C5N.01.LZZZZZZZ.jpg] This way the image is linked and not uploaded. It does not consume board server bandwith. If an image is not available online and you have it on your hard drive, you can upload it with the "File Attachment" function when you post a meesage.

dsgtrane Posted July 7, 2003 Report Share Posted July 7, 2003 Now ain't these nice for a change? ubu They shoulda just contracted their cover art out to Vogue magazine and gave the graphics director another job. On the other hand, the mind that was capable of coming up with these artistic concepts....is a mind best being placed in quarantine somewhere. These make all the bad ones worthwhile!

dsgtrane Posted July 7, 2003 Report Share Posted July 7, 2003 My vote is for Woody Shaw's "Solid". Thankfully I have the orignal Muse version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted July 7, 2003 Report Share Posted July 7, 2003 I dunno, dude, theat Muse cover on SOLID gives me the willies - Woody's looking pretty sick on that one, and with hindsight... But that 32 cover! That's just STUPID! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
connoisseur series500 Posted July 7, 2003 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2003 My vote is for Woody Shaw's "Solid". Thankfully I have the orignal Muse version. Well it is, er, afterall a solid. Gives you an idea of the tremendous imagination of the 32jazz graphics person. Thank god no one ever put a trumpet in the guy's hands. He'd probably outsell Kenny G.

BruceH Posted July 7, 2003 Report Share Posted July 7, 2003 Great thread! 32jazz was a good, affordable label but, ahem, covers were not their strong suit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soul Stream Posted July 7, 2003 Report Share Posted July 7, 2003 My vote is for Woody Shaw's "Solid". Thankfully I have the orignal Muse version. That 32 Jazz "Solid" IS bad. Didn't see that one that much in the stores, so I forgot about it. As BAD as all these were. I'm beginning to think they were bad in a "good" way. They're all so bad I actually like them sort of. One thing's for sure. When searching the used CD bin, the 32 Jazz CD cases (thick black plastic) are by far the most recognizable of them all. So, they did do something right.

DrJ Posted July 7, 2003 Report Share Posted July 7, 2003 (edited) That Al Cohn/Zoot Sims cover always reminded me of the backgrounds they used to put behind Jack Handy's DEEP THOUGHTS segment on Saturday Night Live (or a really cheesy Hallmark card, same difference!). There were a few that weren't TOO horrible: Captures the era of the recording well, no? Woody looks like he's cultivating a "good fella" pose in that one, but kind of nice overall. (Because ONE James Moody just isn't enough...) ALMOST a winner, then they had to go and muck it up by using every available font color in their desktop image editing program for no apparent reason... This one is nice, creative photo, and somehow captures the "confined" nature of Brooks' life (and I don't mean that as a crack, it's truly sad) And who could forget: Edited July 7, 2003 by DrJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrJ Posted July 7, 2003 Report Share Posted July 7, 2003 Oops, just remembered I inadvertently cheated a bit on 32 Jazz's behalf on that B-3 compilation - was actually a Label M deal (although kind of one in the same, no?). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
