This is a 3xLP collection of rare and unreleased early TFA material, featuring art/design work by me (with assists from everyone who designed these old flyers back in the 90s).
The process of putting this album artwork together was sorta insane. The idea was to simulate an old wall of posters that had been stapled and pasted over, ripped down and pasted over again, etc. First I tried to compile it all in Photoshop but it looked fake and shitty (because it was fake and shitty). I rarely feel as disheartened as I did when I began to realize I had proposed a concept that I couldn't actually execute. Then Brian from TFA suggested I just actually make copies of some original flyers, then actually put them on a wall, and then simply take a damn picture of them. And it worked!
So the result is a triple gatefold package that's a 1:1 scale reproduction of the "wall" I created, photographed for print by the mighty Clayton Hauck.
Photos to come!
Triple gatefold, triple LP available on green or random colored vinyl as well as 2xCD.
