"World Peace..." clone stamp info

Re: Clome Stamp Info

Well, no. He released, on ALL physical copies, including vinyl and CD, artwork without the clone stamp.
It exists solely on the digital copies, and the aforementioned 12 x 12 art cover in the super deluxe edition. They are the only places where the clone stamp appears.

Nope. Sorry. On the UK deluxe CD version the picture on the front of the CD booklet still has the clone stamp. It's part of the official release, so tough.

I'd rather he'd use old photos than botox, facelifts, hair plugs, etc. Bit of hair dye is no biggie.


Hey listen if Bieber is doing it, then everyone is at it. So why not Moz? Photography is all lies anyway, always has been.

The designers were really all over the place with this one in that case.

I had a back n' forth correspondence with the guy who did the WPINOYB sleeve and he said his original design was rejected by Morrissey. There was a photo shoot done and the designer said they were great photos but none of them were used, other than for his rejected version. Morrissey then designed the sleeve himself and told the guy where to put everything which is why he only gave himself a layout credit.

I did ask if i could see these photos but as Morrissey was with Harvest at the time he refused which is understandable. There is a possibility that the clone stamp would have been fixed but it wouldn't surprise me if Harvest didn't notice it and went ahead and printed it off before it could be corrected. They do seem to be a bunch of morons.

I must say the sleeve has grown on me since and I am not as opposed to it as I once was. I would've loved to have seen the original designer's version.

Maybe try asking him now since he's no longer with Harvest?

Also, davidt advised me of what Morrissey said after Art-hounds was played live so I added it to the wiki articles. It's a lowercase h.

Yes I have thought of that. I may do it this week but I assume his answer is going to be no. I will try anyway. He is a very nice guy. We shared art work and he really liked my mock ups I did, especially the Palin Kick the Bride one.

Moz really sucks when it comes to visual art. Audio art he's a genius. Visually, what the hell son?!
 
i think it more fifty fifty. the cover of vauxhall is awful though i like arsenal

Vauxhall is a beautiful photograph that matches the dreamy sound of the album, but the photo on the lp is all pixelated. They couldn't fix that?

I love arsenal.

i love his arsenal as well. the mic placement always makes me think of a penis with his penis being his arsenal. dont know why but i always think this when i see it. yeah im still not a big fan of the photo for vuxhall, i think there was better from the time period, but also the pixelization. wonder if it was a weird time for stuff like that with everything going newly digital.

Of course, in a few years when the re-issue is due, he'll bitch and moan about how horrible the cover was that the record company forced upon him - just like he did when complaining about the Maladjusted and Southpaw Grammar covers he was perfectly happy with at the time.
 
Re: Clome Stamp Info

Fun fact: on the super deluxe edition of WPINOYB, the art card cover that's inside the box (vinyl size) HAS the clone stamp, but the CD inside doesn't have it.


And here is evidence of that fun fact:

It's not called a clone stamp!

that's correct. really don't know why ryan is pushing this, nor why this is considered front page worthy. i mean, you can use the pic without the cloning, but to say it's silly, that everyone should have the so called normal v is silly in itself! this is Morrissey's catalog, his workmanship and should be left alone, imo. "clone stamp" is none of your business.
 
my standar edition has no clone stamp and i for sure got it on the day

I shall never mention it again.

who cares ryan, go on if you want to. the discussion takes away nothing from me or anyone else even if i dont agree. i dont have to read or participate in it. the catalog is part of the public domain so let the public do what they will with it and say what they want about. i dont see the harm

I think it's "great." CLONESTAMP has a lot of great anagrams such as "solemn pact" and "calms to pet" (It's calming to your pet). THat's why he keeps bringing it up, his alien brain knows CLONESTAMP is a go to of excellent words to work in green to deduce mood. #mindbabiesftw

Excellent work, Ryan. This is groundbreaking stuff. Now you need to use your sleuth superpowers to find out who stole the entire background of the Maladjusted cover.
Morrissey is amazing but not capable of levitation. Also, can you look into the cause of my receiving a pornographic insert of a man's naked ass tucked into a subsequent purchase.
By the way- Your Arse N All is up 1-0 on Man City at the moment.
