The 'team' who are putting the official Island 50th project together are 'upgrading' the quality of available images hence the need to photograph the UK album covers again. There are heaps of old colour transparencies in the archive but by todays standards would look a bit 'ropey' when reproduced. It's being done because you lot are so demanding lol Edited December 14, 2008 by vinylvixen
Pete S Posted December 14, 2008 Posted December 14, 2008 Bugger, I'm so thick sometimes, I've got this book, bought it directly off the author in Russia, it has every conceivable label variation and all of the album covers as far as I can remember. Jo if you want to borrow it, no problem.
Pete S Posted December 14, 2008 Posted December 14, 2008 Oh - as for whether the book is any good - yes, of course, if you're into record labels and minutae about them, if not, then probably a waste of time, I mean once they'd gone on to the pink Islands there wasn't much left to read about for me personally

He seems to be an Island 'fanatic'....which could be interesting for me in the coming months
