Ooh! The fake WEA target CD thread! Part 2

PM on the Neil Young!

 

Great artwork Andrew!

One suggestion - it might be a good idea to "watermark" these images so they don't turn up on ebay.

I'm not sure the record company would allow the legalese to be printed backwards.....

 

Neat work Andrew! While I admit Listen Like Thieves looks pretty good, would you really prefer a Target version over the Barry Diament version?

Cheers!

Simon

 

The Green Chrysalis label is cool. Reminds me more of the original "Living in the Past" LP though. The original Aqualung US label was on the orange Reprise label.

 

All the printing on the packaging of Done With Mirrors, except for the catalog number and barcode, was printed backwards.

I think I'd prefer a Barry Diament-mastered target version.

 

In that case I take back what I said!

I'm surprised the legalese was backwards though - I imagine you could copy that CD freely without fear of prosecution since there is nothing telling you it is illegal to do so

 

I truly dig these fake targets... you oughta find a way to open up a SmugMug website (a la the Fully Dimensional Labels one) to compile all of the images from both the first Fake Target thread with these images in the newer thread...

Wasn't there a fake PolyGram CD thread, too? I'm guessing it would be cool to see mocked-up atomic Mercurys, swirled Casablancas, Vertigos, and other of the cooler initial PGD first edition CD labels...

 

Here's a CD that barely missed being "targetted" to begin with:



And some more:






Does anyone have special requests for any titles?

 

Close To The Edge, please

 

How 'bout Olive Green WB target's for Alice Cooper?

 

Thanks!

 

And here's an Alice Cooper CD:

 

The Peter Gabriel studio-album catalogue is now finished off.



Mike + the Mechanics:



Paul Simon's Graceland in a target incarnation:



And finally, one of my favorite albums:

 

Led Zeppelin III

 

Two belated requests KeithH made three years ago:

Dire Straits - Making Movies



and the Buggles' Age of Plastic.



I think it's surprising that in real life, only one Island target CD (U2's War) was released.

Has anyone tried printing a fake target label onto a CD-R?

 

Nice work Andrew!

I really like the So and Graceland targets.

 

How about an Asylum target of Tom Waits' The Heart of Saturday Night with the original Asylum logo using a blue label/white target color scheme?

 

How's this?



Creating new color schemes takes time, but arranging text is a comparable snap.

 

Man, I love these!

 

cool! but, umm, shouldn't track 6 be '(Looking For) The Heart Of Saturday Night'?

 

That looks great! Thanks Andrew.

 

Fixed.

 

Man, this thread is GOOFY! Sorry about the thread crap, but where else would we see something like this? I'm not sure if it's genius or insanity!

 

That's always a fine line. Me? I'm enjoying the hell out of it!
Andrew, have you thought about creating some fake French targets? I love the pastel colors that MPO used.
