Does anybody have a good resolution image of the proposed cover for this version of the abum [Mansfield/Brotherwood]. I've only recently discovered that one had actually be designed. Allegedly the cover had Andy's face in a bubble, or somehting. Either that, or else someone is pulling my leg. Can anyone enlighten me, please?

The cover is a colourful painting of a corner of a room, with a wooden floor, sky blue walls with a hint of cloud, a TV showing John's face on the left of the picture, a painting on the wall to the right which I assume is Mr Brotherwood's face, and Messrs Banks and Piercy sort of superimposed in the foreground. The cover was displayed at a gig in Stafford back in 2005.  Do I have a photographic memory?  Or a bad photograph taken on a 2megapixel digital camera?

Oh how I'd like a nice big copy of that myself.  And of the album...!  He says wistfully - after all, it is my birthday!

Still got 15 minutes before it starts and I'm not going in the lounge while bloomin' Lark Rise is on, so here's what I believe is the tracklisting for the rejected version:

STARFLIGHT (Brotherwood on drums, available on the "Nick At Nite Goes To Outer Space" compilation CD!)

IT'S HIGH FASHION

ANOTHER WORLD

Yeah, sorry about that, it's a combination of dire internet access and a new baby!

The running order is:

side one
Starflight
High Fashion
Another World
Can You Face It?
Operator

side two
Love Will Always Make You Cry
1980-F
Satellite In Orbit
Who's Gonna Love You
Billy Billy
Starflight (reprise)

To explain .. I have the acetate for this album, pressed by Tape 1. I just didn't know there was a cover too. I wanted it for album art for my mp3's.

The Opening Starflight on the album is a 4 min edit of a six minute recording I also have .. they just kept playing til they, well, stopped.

Another World/Satellite/Operator were ditched, and Joanne/Wild West/Why Can't We Be Friends replaced them.

This version of 1980-F is also accidently found on the US Der Kommissar vinyl release 1982 with the BNI cover.
