Not so much my suggestion Embarrassed (thanks anyway, Angelo), but more the policy of the site.
 
I'd like to have an option for multiple covers (in case there are some) as well (also proposed many times), though...

^ Happens every few days... Fassbinder suggested a couple of weeks ago to aim for the first cover released in the band's own country, but even that is hard to do...

Thanks.


Are you sure this is the right one? Maybe the album was issued with various cover versions (like GG's Octopus)?
Changed anyway. Smile

Curse of the Collab, Fassbinder - you're behind the screen too much, too long and too often. Wink

Here's a proper 200x200 pixels cover of Selling England By The Pound. The one in use now is much smaller and the way it's displayed on the home page as "most popular album of the week" is disgraceful.

Cheers anyway T.Rox - the exitement of becoming a collaborator made me rush off in similar manner, that's why the backlog was gone so fast. I've calmed down now... Wink

For Work In Progress I used the cover I proposed yesterday (resized to 200x200)

I found a cover for Short Break, also 200x200

I found a slightly better pic for The Animals film, included that at 200x200


 
I missed this very enlightening post ... you get that when rushing about like a headless chook! LOL

The resized Work In Progress...
 
I think this is one of the pics I overlooked because it was not quite a square shot of the cover, but its clarity is so much better that it being a little skewed is not really an issue.
 
Cheers once again,

The Animals Film - not too great so skipped for now, as suggested by T-Rox.
Work in progress - would the picture below be a better version to resize to 200x200?
Peel Session - Cover being checked for correctness, in relation to T-Rox comment.
A short Break - Cover was for Shleep, so Short Break still needs an update

Alternative for Work in Progress could be this one:



 
Where did that WIP picture come from? ... I will resize!
 
"Whoops" on the Short Break & Shleep ... I must have been going ga-ga from posting truck loads of covers! LOL
 
The  correct A Short Break cover...

That is true, but I have yet to find a 200 x 200 size image for "Face & Place Vol. 7".  I'll keep looking though.

By the way, I have now converted all album covers to 200 x 200 pixels, except for "Face & Place Vol. 7".

Edit: right, I've found a bigger version, I'll resize and upload. Thumbs%20Up

Any thoughts on this?


some months ago I went through the SOFT MACHINE discog with the help of Assaf and we made a lot of changes. So we merged three albums to the existing.
I'm quite sure "Face and place Vol. 7" was the first release title and the cover art is corresponding. So depending on our policy this is actually the correct presentation,
but with the restriction that the cover pic has not 200x200px.

So I would prefer to make a new search for a better pic. Otherwise  - if we use the propelled pic we also have to change the album title ...

No "rules" here -- anyone who finds a better cover of an album or a picture of a band than those already existing, or who finds a picture when there is no picture at all at a band's page posts it here.
 
As for the different album covers for one album -- as far as I am concerned the earliest cover released at the band's country should be put. The only problem is how do you know which one was actually the earliest...
