Inkanta Group: Admins Posts: 1453 Joined: Feb. 2000 Posted: July 09 2006, 19:14 I know I've seen this discussion before--maybe over on the Amarok Mailing List. Mine didn't include it either, and here are the notes from Richard's discography @ http://tubular.net/discography/Incantations.shtml : "....However, there are pictures different to the cover (one inside the 1979 tour brochure and another was issued as a poster, included with early pressings of the Incantations LP)..." I acquired my vinyl fairly early, but apparently not soon enough. -------------- "No such thing as destiny; only choices exist." From:  Moongarden's "Solaris." Back to top

I bought the lp back in 1978 and was surprised to find a poster of the album cover inside. Much as I liked the poster I never put it up on my wall, and has now long since bitten the dust Back to top

Another one bites the dust! *clap* -------------- Arron J Eagling Everyone's interpretation is different, and everyone has a right to that opinion. There is no "right" one, I am adding this post to communicate my thoughts to share them with like-minded souls who will be able to comment in good nature.

I think it's a different photo from both the album and poster. I'd been wondering about that, Taurus 4. In fact, there was mention of your av recently in a thread elsewhere. After researching a bit, I think I have found the image in full: here, which looks to be, as you've said, a different shot from the one used for the album cover. -------------- "I'm no physicist, but technically couldn't Mike both be with the horse and be flying through space at the same time?

Virgin's campaigns in the 70s were dreadful. I remember some ad for one of Edgar Froeses solo albums that made some terrible joke about Edgar being and "airhead" or something like that. I've been having the Incantations CD lying in my car for a couple of weeks, glacing down on it while I'm stuck at red lights. It's one of the most terrible record sleeves I have ever seen. And, as someone said, we know that it's Jean-Michel Jarre on that picture!   -------------- "There are twelve people in the world, the rest are paste" Mark E Smith Back to top

Taurus 4 Group: Members Posts: 46 Joined: Aug. 2007 Posted: Sep. 14 2007, 13:50 I think it's alright. My vinyl edition's been propped up by the record player next to my desk for ages and it looks far better than the CD version. I definitely like the location; it isn't particularly evocative of the music but it still has an enigmatic appeal. Now what's that box on the advertisement? Back to top

Sweetpea Group: Members Posts: 1476 Joined: April 2007 Posted: Sep. 14 2007, 14:31 Thanks, Taurus 4. I like that image - I think it works better as a panoramic view. I am now feeling sorry for New Incantation, who once had it in possession but allowed it to disintegrate.   * Quote Now what's that box on the advertisement? It's quite mysterious, isn't it?
