The Vinyl Projekt 09.09.09

:: click on images to embiggen ::
Meat Beat Manifesto :: Subliminal Sandwich
Double-LP w/bonus disc :: 1996

I'm in the middle of ripping this one into the computer right now and I thought it would make a good first look into some of the cooler record sleeves from my collection. The artwork and design was done by Rich Borge out of New York City. I love his style - combining photos of creepy dolls and other 3D elements he makes himself with distressed typography and other grungy graphics.

The high-quality artwork definitely lured me into purchasing this album, as at the time I was not too familiar with Meat Beat Manifesto - and this was back before there was any real way of sampling an album before purchasing it. I know, sounds crazy now doesn't it?
