Spring Tours 77 *SPECIAL EDITION*

**U.S. Male** · 08-14-2005, 10:46 PM

First of all, I know this cd has had many fantastic cd covers created for it, most recently by Spinout. However, I have always believed that FTD missed an great opportunity to include some other good songs on the original release. Therefore, I have created a Special Edition version of the Spring Tours 77 cd cover.

I've added 8 more tracks of my choosing and deleted a couple from the original as well. I'll let you all figure out what's new and what's missing

.

As for the cover, I must admit that I struggled. I have so many fine photos from this period that I found myself in a "photo rut" trying to choose which ones to use

. So, I ended up making 2 different versions. I am going to let you all decide which versions (if any) you'd like me to make available for download.

I'll make the version with the most votes available 5 days from this date (8-15)

Hope you enjoy the covers

Difficult to decide but I went for the 2nd one. Why not make available both ?

well can i make a mixed decision? i like the 1st ones cover, but i like the 2nd ones back of the booklet. for the tracklisting i go the 2nd one, and i can't see the inlay

Spring tours 77 is popular for alternate covers, simply because FTD

ed it up. that reminds me, i still have more pics to post for another version

good idea to extend it, indeed i think that there should be another 77 live cd release from the february tour, or even better, EIC revamp

I won't particpate in this voting, because I want both of them.

**Hans** · 08-15-2005, 12:37 PM

Thank you all for the kind words of support.

I'll have the cover with the most votes ready to download on Friday ( I might even bring out the one w/ the least number of votes at a later time - if you all behave yourselves and eat your veggies )

Thank you kindly Andy

Looks like Version #2 is the winner

I'll make it available for download in the artwork gallery tonight.

But I am going to go against the popular vote and say that the FIRST VERSION is my favorite....but only by a slight margin!!
