No kidding. Like I told someone in PM, I don't know how crap like this http://www.ebay.com/itm/LANA-DEL-REY-YOUNG-AND-BEAUTIFUL-CD-SINGLE-SLIM-JEWEL-CASE-PROMO-RARE-GATSBY-/161516767599?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item259b26496f is on eBay. He is clearly trying to profit and I'm really not but I bet I'd get caught first.
 
Maybe just blank cases would be safe. And @@SitarHero if you want that hibiscus label you need to find someone who will make it properly. 
@@longtimeman I really was wondering why you posted that because it seemed weird but it now makes sense. 

Of course, they are just rough WIP. And yeah, I can edit the polls after we have everything in (so Jan 1st) and get a real count of who wants what. I'm sorry if my post earlier made it seem like I was deciding for everyone. 
 
All assuming the next bit doesn't shut this down..
 
 
 
 
Hm, this makes me pretty nervous about all this. I haven't had anything printed at all yet thankfully but this is something I'm going to have to deal with. I'd prefer not to get into trouble. If you guys think that just the cases wouldn't be an issue, that is an option. I want one badly, and to share it with you guys, but I don't want legal trouble either as that would royally fuck up my life. 
 
 
Yeah we might need to make other arrangements for this. I don't really know what to do at this point. 

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?

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. 
 
 

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.

I respectfully disagree - I love how it makes a connection forwards to the UV booklet and the whole aesthetic of the various eras being strongly connected to the place where Lizzy/Lana was/is living/hanging out.

@ thanks for the cover! Will update the OP!
 
 
I kind of like this picture ilovetati posted earlier as it could be used for the center of the digi but its just me: http://i.huffpost.com/gen/1737243/thumbs/o-CONEY-ISLAND-facebook.jpg The best part too is that it's already a large enough image. 
 
If we had the cover, used the back cover with the palm tree that was posted a few pages earlier, and ^ for the middle, I think it would be a nice balance of the darker/lighter pictures. But its just a suggestion. 
 
I'm starting my own pages too as a backup. They are kind of just lame/cliche aka era pictures with the lyrics in the TypicalWriter font (same one as BTD/UV) but could be a safe backup if nothing else. 
 
 
Also, anyone making pages be warned, I'm simply not going to consider anything made with this image:

I'm trying to keep my own personal biases out of this as much as possible but I hate this picture.

This is cool. I met a guy randomly who said that he filmed this, and that apparently a lot more was filmed but not uploaded for some reason.

Okay, some options for the final Coney Island picture:

Updated Booklet Suggestion...I tried to maintain the cohesiveness and do justice to the album's continuous story line and mood/atmosphere. I like how the landscape pictures slowly evolve from day to night as the album's story progresses (maybe the Smarty and Jump pictures could be switched to reflect that better in the Lana pics). If another version of the Oh Say You Can't See pic sadly can't be found, then I would suggest one of the more somber pictures from the Kill Kill ocean set. I hope you guys like my ideas.  So excited to see what someone like @@Trash Magic does with this for booklet pages.

Kill Kill (one of these):



Queen of the Gas Station:



Oh Say Can You See (*NEED BIGGER VERSION*):



Gramma (Blue Ribbon Sparkler Trailer Heaven):
 


For K Part 2:



Jump:



Mermaid Motel:
*ONE OF ABOVE CONEY ISLAND OPTIONS*

Raise Me Up (Mississippi South):



Pawn Shop Blues:



Brite Lites:



Put Me in a Movie:



Smarty (one of these):



Yayo:




Back Cover:



The digipak inset picture would be one of the Coney Island/Nevada pictures like the shot of LA in the Ultraviolence digipak and booklet.

@@Anthem if you go to advanced editing in the OP there should be a sidebar that allows you to add a poll with multiple questions. Before you do that I think you should set a deadline for idea submissions so we don't have an influx of additional options, and then whoever still wants to buy one can just settle on the design we choose in these stages. Also the talented people of LanaBoards coughtrashmagiccough need to be doing this booklet before we end up with something less cute

no, don't worry about it 

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

well, there goes my knowledge of 20th century films

Why is that gif of Lana dancing in the off shoulder white shirt not a thing yet? I need that as a emoticon. It was from a festival this past summer or something and she did it while singing Cola. It was the best.
 
I was scared for like 10 minutes that   was gone but I finally found it.  
 
EDIT: Found it. 3:28-3:30
 

 
   

Thanks! I actually think I have a Cheryl CD somewhere here, but it wouldn't be this one.
