Dean and Britta

Friends Dean & Britta (Dean Wareham and Britta Phillips) are re-releasing their long-out-of-print first album L'Avventura as a Digipak with bonus tracks. Package for a forthcoming vinyl edition was also recently prepared.

Selected Reject: Best of Luna

Rejected cover for Best of Luna. Photo taken back in the swinging '60s by the legendary David Bailey. The leggy girl in white is the likewise legendary model, Penelope Tree. (Dig the wine and vinyl on the floor). Luna loved my idea for the cover as did the record company art department. Much to my surprise and joy, permissions were obtained from Mr. Bailey and Ms. Tree. Apparently the party people had sufficiently obscurred faces (cropped or wearing sunglasses -- digitally added in the case of the girl on the left) to be legally passable. Unfortunately the record company lawyers nixed use of the photo because they couldn't track down the full-faced fellow with the shiny jacket passed out on the sofa. (Someone said he was in the band Procol Harum). Too bad.

Black Postcards

Black Postcards: A Rock & Roll Romance by Dean Wareham of Galaxie 500 and Luna fame, is just out on the Penguin Press. Dean and I have known one another since I had the good fortune to design the album package for Luna's Penthouse — still one of my all time favorite albums. I designed most all of the packages for Luna after that. After Luna's demise, I designed Dean and Britta's first album package, L'Avventura, and the DVD package for the Luna documentary, Tell Me Do You Miss Me. It has been my pleasure to have worked with Dean for all these years. He is an extraordinarily intelligent and talented musician and gifted writer.
