    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.

    Oh that was posted by me and now the artwork has appeared - does it only appear if you log in to the forum.

    Nice to have you aboard giving the cover art a go Bobby !

    Thanks!

    I noticed that recently as well; it does seem that you have to log in to view them. It's not a big deal, but maybe we could post a sticky about that. It would encourage people to become members in addition to making sure they don't miss out on the artwork. Just a thought.

    Ha! Thanks for saying so.

    BTW you have the only set ever produced, so that sucker will be worth something someday, LOL! Seriously, I have the CD's but I never got around to printing up any covers except for your set.
