| Do we know already something about the formats of the single? Will there be different vinyl colour?
I have to say I'm a bit disappointed that Mercury doesn't post / announce anything. Well hardly anything ... | |

I have to say I'm a bit disappointed that Mercury doesn't post / announce anything. Well hardly anything ... Don't think anyone knows yet, this was on the pre-order page on Banquet Records, they don't even know if there will be different country versions. - Quote :
- Expected 21st May. We havent had much information on this yet, so colours and price TBC. Orders will be filled most limited version first, and if the price drops a £1 (possible) you'll be charged accordingly. if it turns out its US only and should be more, we'll keep it at £5 and you can count yourself lucky!

That kind of bothers me too. Once the release date was announced, I expected Mercury to start announcing stuff too, but that hasn't been the case. Benny had said during the chat that there would be vinyl variants, but other than that, I haven't heard anything. | |

| someone probably posted the 'Handwritten' cover art elsewhere, but I felt like adding it to the '45' cover art thread  and the classic Blue Note cover it is presumbably based on (maybe posted somewhere already as well)  | |

| I didn't make the connection with that specific record but I instantly thought Blue Note when I first saw the cover. Same as Elsie. That Grant Green album is fantastic though. It's been one of my favorites since I got into jazz. | |

| I guess my one of my biggest gripes with the artwork is that the colour scheme is too similar to The '59 Sound. I was hoping something different colour-wise. I think the design is ok, nothing special but I think it would look a hell of a lot better with completely different colours ie shades of yellow or just a generally different colour scheme from The '59 Sound which this reminds me of exactly. I've always liked their album covers in the past but have to say I just find this one really bland and uninspiring. I wonder why they decided to do away with Gaslight's logo they have used on the cover of the last two albums? | |

| Shades of yellow would make me think of things you find in a baby's diaper. I'm happy with the color choices. | |
