Chapterhouse LP (1991) - Cover of "Whirlpool", first album from Reading's shoegazers, Chapterhouse. I took the picture of one of my cats in her favorite sleeping position prior to adding abstract underwater background. The cat's tail spread over the back cover.
The smartest comment made about this work was from an American record company's female representative who was horrified that I chose "a dead raccoon" as the cover visual!
Chapterhouse single (1991) - 12" remix, 7" single and cassette packaging versions of "Mesmerize", Chapterhouse's 4th single.
The band asked me to keep the "peaceful animals" theme developed on their album artwork (see previous file) while the new song's trippy vibe induced to incorporate psychedelic influences.
Images are the result of a London photographer's experimentation with filters and exposure during a glass miniature figurines' photo session.
Spiritualized 12" (1991) - One of the few sleeves I designed for Spiritualized in the early 90s. The eye belongs to Jason Pierce, the band's visionary leader and sole songwriter. In the center, the "angel & demon" visual which featured on all Spiritualized releases until the 1992 "Lazer Guided Melodies" debut album.
