Greenwich

I've never cried from a movie, book, or television show in my entire life. And here I am, crying for 10 minutes straight because of this fucking show.     The Life cover absolutely killed me... holy shit

Someone make a proper translation of this shit right now

THIS UPDO IS SUCH A LOOK

I want her to come through lyrically 

'50s + grunge sounds like The Other Woman and Shades of Cool

I would say this is more accurate

i'd be interested in a jewel case guide. sorry this project hasn't worked out I think it's genuinely a really good idea and had it come together the way we wanted i think it would've been amazing. i'm v appreciative of you at least putting this idea in motion so other people have some sort of direction to go in should they want to make their own, so thanks for that

realistically nothing will happen tho

I like the idea of sending out blank CDs but with the label we choose printed on them

The other thing is, that unlike in the old bootleg days, every one of us has access to the actual music, so distributing it on a physical CD (which makes it subject to piracy laws) seems an unnecessary risk. Maybe include a blank CD, printed with the label, which the person who receives it can do whatever they feel is appropriate with?

The fact is that it's not legal, and either 5 Points or Lana's team or probably Interscope could come down on it like a tonne of bricks if they wanted to. That's why I suggested just printing up covers as a possibly less problematic project - it's a piece of fan art, which is technically using copyrighted photos, but is less likely to be a problem.
 
Vinyl is an even bigger problem, and it will be almost impossible for hobbyists like us to find a plant willing to press up bootlegs. 

I actually really like that...it's simple, beautiful, and consistent with the album's mood. I'd love to see what you do with the other pictures.

So here is roughly what I am envisioning the thing to look like based on what I have so far:
 
Cover - duh, moving on..
 
Back Cover:
 
 
 
CD Label:
 
 
 
Digipak middle insert/jewel case inside back part (part visible behind the CD):
 
 
 
This is, of course, subject to change depending on what else people turn in by the end of the year, but for now its the direction I am leaning toward. I just really like the idea of the cover/back being dark, but the inside being more bright and happy to go with the lighter parts of the album. I think it covers all the main aesthetic points of the era as well. Feel free to post thoughts!
 
Pages are still TBA, I am working on some basic ones to use if I don't get anything from anyone else. 
 
EDIT: Also guys, I can't use those pages y'all keep posting (or any random ones off the internet) even if I wanted to. I need/want permission from the original creators to use anything from online. And I like some of the things we are coming up with more anyways.  Based on the "official" back cover I think I like ours more than what Lana would have made it look like too.
 
..And I guess its time to suck it up and show you guys one of my sample pages so I can get feedback if it comes to that. Absolutely not what we have to use but its there as a last resort. 
 
 

Would 10000% be down for a vinyl of this too 

I'm probably going to have a bunch of blank CDs/cases so maybe. I was thinking that earlier but like @@tropicunt said, I didn't want to get too ahead. Only one person has said anything about it but I did mention in the OP that creating an AKA vinyl was another project I was considering. As long as everyone is cooperating and I can at least get back the money I put into it, I don't mind doing several more things similar to this for her other official unreleased stuff.
 
Discussions for a future time though! I've already got enough going on with these darn CDs. 
 
Good news is that I talked with my friend who works at UPS (she helped me make my extra prints for my BTD/P box) and she is going to help me find a place that does digipaks. Not to scare anyone, but I've called most of the major printing places where I live and a few in the major city near me and cannot find anyone who makes them or even knows someone who will. I have a few friends involved in the local music scene though so I'm hoping to hear back from them if they know. It might be a while before I have any pricing info on them. :/ I KNOW somewhere has to be able to do it but damn they are hard to find. 

no, don't worry about it

i like this better than the original haha

She didn't mess up..

no, don't worry about it 

well, there goes my knowledge of 20th century films 

I apologise. That came across as much more arrogant than it should have been. 

well, there goes my knowledge of 20th century films 

It's a direct reference to one of the most famous quotes from 20th Century film, so I would say it's not a coincidence.
