Some designed by Saville, some not...

Mine is predictably the Music for pleasure sleeve. The gatefold vinyl is a really nice item and an original Saville. Revenge's artwork was funny more than anything else, you've got to admire Hooky for putting a black dildo on the inside sleeve of One True Passion :laugh: basically soft porn! My second favourite artwork would be O2's Super highways, fantastic stuff by Saville too. Some sort of circuit with a sweet wrapper colour?

I agree about Music... nice arse!

You've got to include singles as well, and for me Getting Away With It wins hands down.

Thought they were all a bit shit really. The Other Two & You did have that refective card sleeve over the normal one though. Singles were far better artwork though.

Superhighways, then Music for Pleasure- what was that cover / insert all about? I notice new things in it everytime I look...

I do too! Everytime I pick up the cover, I'm constantly inspecting it for things I swear I didn't see before. So intriguing.

one true passion sleeve always, erm cheered me up, i had it on a t shirt also and was forever getting strange looks from people.

i thought the first electronic sleeve was so bad it put me in a cunt of a mood for ages(the album im talking about, not the first single which i loved) twisted tenderness is probably the best album cover electronic had.

I always liked RTP, the pic and all the green was very soothing... But best of a not very good bunch really...

you were not required to have an auditory response but a visual one or a kinesthetic one try n be a little flexible:idea:

in order to enjoy the neworder experience its best to be english and know something of cultural influences, the trick is to have emotional and cultural intelligence the dominant response to neworder is kinesthetic that is auditory visual and kinesthetic altogether, peter saville gets this, but others dont. i use the neworder experience as an emo management tool just as dinkity doo dah they do three cheers for emotional rapport :\ohwell: if nobody votes for monaco im going to **** kirsch![](http://my pictures)or wear a suit andlive in australia

monaco

its the best sleeve because it stays true to the original concept ie its all about people and their social conditions, our lives and sharing our perspectives this is true to the original thread or theme that ian curtis wrote about in his poetry and the new ordermusic that followed like bernies lyrics and music was respectfully following from the auteur and origin ok,links are links but follow-through is important for the response to be congruent and the message is repeated until the link is broken thats why other side concepts fade unsuccessfully consistency, reliability and truth our responses are stimulated and we reflect backwards: memory, history, points of significance in our lives which are echoed in the vak experience look at the sleeve design revisit your response, and vote for monaco do it for me

I like TOT&Y but Superhighways is the bomb. Can anyone give me any info on the insers? Like, did the othet two do sleevnotes or was it just blank. I looked it up on the web but I couldnt see anything.

You know copies of TOT&Y are going for $60 and $70 on Amazon.com. :eek:

Sleeve- Monaco's Music for pleasure Booklet- Electronic's Twisted tenderness (amazing graphics coupled with awesome photography...)

The worst one is, easily, Electronic's eponymous album. How such a great team of designers (Johnson/Panas) came up with such dross is beyond me...

There are no sleeve notes in either of them, apart from the usual credits. I don't have a scanner, but here's what's in them:
