the cover that won't scan !! Podcast 14

The cover to the Sugarcubes Birthday single simply doesn't scan properly...it's a bright flouro orange and scans as a putrid off-pink...the dodgy work below to make it look vaguely orange is all my doing. Interestingly it also doesn't photograph properly. Or at least not in my house, unless there's some strange magnetic phenomenom preventing me from capturing this cover properly ? Perhaps the ghost of Gene Pitney hassling me from the other world for dissing him recently? Weird.

Anyway I chose the b-side, the Icelandic version in honour of the mighty Dýrðin. I also dug up a double groove 12 of the Jesus & Mary Chain remixes of Birthday ( ironically called Christmas Eve/Christmas Day ) which will show up soon on the Humans Beware blog.

No problems with scanning the rather lurid Slaughter cover though !! This is a bit of a rag-tag bunch of singles today and will probably be my last until just after Christmas....speaking of which I hope you have a really happy time and a nice break :)
