...And Your Fav' BSO Sleeve ??

Let's talk about the BSO sleeves. Which one is your favourite ?
We just talk about the sleeve, no matter what you think about the album.
Personally, mine is Guitar Slinger in the "original version", I mean the Japanese sleeve from september 1995.
Anyway, I feel better with a pix (1st, 2nd and 7th album) than with a drawing even if there are really great ones on the 4 albums concerned...

Usually I prefer real pics too but The Dirty Boogie cover is my fave.
Guitar Slinger would be second but in its US/UK/EU form.

Guitar Slinger is the one.

For me, it'd have to be the Dirty Boggie sleeve, although I kinda dig the characture of Brian as Santa from the X-Mas albums. I cannot tell you HOW many times I've must have drawn the face-less cat in the foreground and used that style font of the logo. To me, that image is EXACTLY what I picture during "Hollywood Nocturn". The funny thing about that sleeve is, I dislike the color green...unless it's Dark Highland Green As far as the solo stuff goes, it has to be "13".

BSO covers:

Dig That Crazy Christmas.

But, my very favorite Setzer album cover is Live Nude Guitars. It's just....sexy! I also love the cover for Nitro Burnin' Funny Daddy.

Well, although I'm partial to the cartoon/caricature covers, I think my favorite is actually the sleeve from the 1st album. I've always thought the portrait of Brian was reminiscent of Jules Verne's literary character "Dorian Gray". Plus, you have a Gibson guitar, sheet music score, dice, and a candlestick completing the image. To me, it's a really intriguing and nicely done cover sleeve.

I've been hesitatin' between Guitar Slinger & the first album sleeve. This portrait fascinates me since the first time I saw it, may be as the Stray Cats first album sleeve !

Not only does GS have great sleeve work, I think it has the BEST and most interesting layout of all of the albums. The sleeve unfolded into seven or eight pages, you had cool pictures and I personally like the roughness of the layout, with the lyrics scribbled and the photo proofs being circled and what-not. I just LOVE that album in general. I still think the most influential album, for me anyways, was the DB album with the "faceless man of mystery". I had completely forgot about the BSO album, as I only had the cassette and the layout wasn't as exciting.

Dirty Boogie and Vavoom! Those were my first two BSO albums. Guess they stuck.

I like this one because of the sled.

First Album

Gotta agree Mike. Followed closely by the Japanese "Guitar Slinger".

The Dirty boogie cover by Sir Richard Wenthworth, And what a killer album!

Does he have a website or anything?

I agree with Tommy and I wish there were more pics from the Guitar Slinger Era.
