First of all, I am decidedly low-tech. The image on the front cover I made using Paint, doing a lot of stuff pixel by pixel, and a lot of cutting and pasting. It wasn't until after I did that, that I enlisted the help of my sister, who has PhotoShop. So she helped me with the fonts and the effect on the back cover. I did what I did with that image because it was really fuzzy anyway--in fact it was a picture taken from a 1976 newspaper. I kind of like how that turned out. And maybe someday I'll re-do the front using her PhotoShop, but because I had spent so much time on it back when I did it, I had no such inclinations then. Anyway, I thought I'd share it and hope you can at least appreciate the idea behind it.
Elvis played my hometown 4 times in the 70's, and I have some pretty rough audience recordings of those shows. So I made a little box set. The reason the back cover is so crammed is because the 4-CD case I bought had no room for any liner notes at all, so I just did a front and back. For the sake of space, I had to take some liberties with some of the song titles, which seems to add to the bootleg feel of it.
So anyway, here you go.
