mmmmm, nice can't wait to read this.

Trasher02 · 02.06.2007, 10:43 AM

The non-red one.

I'm colourblind...

finding nobody · 02.06.2007, 10:52 AM

November. I also am looking forward to opening this up

noumenal · 02.06.2007, 10:57 AM

Has anyone read any of the other books from the 33 1/3 series? What are they like? I'm a bit worried that it won't be my kind of music writing, but I'm defintely getting it.

I vote for November.

Jef Mertens · 02.06.2007, 11:02 AM

November!!! definitely. Gives it that golden touch...

Inhuman · 02.06.2007, 11:23 AM

Hey echocanyon!
I'm a design student, and I'd definately go with November! The color scheme is more consistant and flows nicer with the daydream nation cover. It also provides a better contrast with the black text on the back. Red is also the most difficult color for your brain to comprehend.

Very nice design overall, I'm impressed. I can't wait to read it.

HaydenAsche · 02.06.2007, 01:26 PM

Non-red.

kingcoffee · 02.06.2007, 01:48 PM

I too prefer the gold cover. The red doesnt look right for the album. I dont think of red when I think of DDN.

jennthebenn · 02.06.2007, 02:22 PM

my favorite sy poster is a ddn promo tour poster
with the dates next to the original drifter,
drumstick jammed in the strings proudly, all
against a red backdrop. given that, and the
predominance of red in the cd packaging, i
can't help but connect red with the album.

jon boy · 02.06.2007, 02:28 PM

to be honest i like both.

the ikara cult · 02.06.2007, 02:35 PM

I like the brown one, kind of a sepiatone effect, suits the albums sound if you see what i mean

hey alex · 02.06.2007, 03:21 PM

I kinda like the red, but the november one is better match, the red is a cool clash,

I've read the beatles' let it be one in the series, which was cool. But VVEERRYY dry. It was mostly about them in the studio and what guitars they used, which I found intresting, but is a rather pigeon holing approach .I'm aware. It really depends on who writes the book and their connection with album, such as the replacments' let it be was written by collin meloy and is more personally oriented to his feelings about the album and not so much about the album creation (or so I've heard). This one could be intresting i bet. I mean, it si DDN. (post monger!)

guston · 02.06.2007, 09:02 PM

While I may be in the minority...I say red. I think the red provides a nice contrast with daydream nation cover. Def. the red.

I'm really excited about this book. THe 33 1/3 series is really great. This should be a good mini read.

dazedcola · 02.06.2007, 10:32 PM

holy shit, check this out:

First, look closely! Located beneath the 33.3 logo and album cover shot, in fine print, you'll notice an announcement indicating that the volume comes fully loaded with a foreword from Lee Ranaldo. I'm totally thrilled to include his piece in this project. Lee strikes just the right tone, properly setting the mood for the rest of the book. If his foreword isn't incentive enough for you to preorder multiple copies, then maybe this will help: If you order now, I promise to inscribe each copy with a personalized, secret author's message

CHOUT · 02.06.2007, 11:06 PM

I like the red one.

Chris Lawrence · 02.07.2007, 12:24 AM

red, no contest. how can you not associate 'red' w/ daydream, the spine of the CD? (to be fair, the LP is a greenish spine, but that's not an option here...)

krastian · 02.07.2007, 01:02 AM

I like the red as well for obvious reasons stated....plus it catches the eye better than the November.

Moshe · 02.07.2007, 01:52 AM

Red for me.
