Zero: the most beauoootiful of them all

[Lee de Parade]

This is the coolest lookin label I know. It's got a star, it's got lightning bolts, the font used on 'ZERO' is frighteningly awesome and is that SILVER?
This is also a killer 2-sider and to me - who likes it rough, raw and primitive - this 'Miss Me' whips the 13th's versh into submission, and the b-side is even better! That is pure PUNK, people! We Sell Soul beats that proto-new age crap 'Don't Fall Down' from the over-cooked debut to a PULP!
So - this one is the best of the best, creme de la creme.

Close second is The Nomads killer 2-sider "Thoughts Of A Madman b/w From Zero Down" on Tornado.

+1 on the Tornado label!

Personally I favor the ZERO flip over the top deck. Emil Schwartze's finest moment, IMO...



Here's a scan of a dirty Tornado, a sensational new discovery indeed !

Although that's of course not true here's a lysergic and echo-laden hybrid of the two:

I like the USA label:

Couldn't agree with you more! :)

Awwww... one of the few records I regret selling. This is the copy I found and sold to Don Julio a few years back. So damn good.

One of the all time greatest two siders ever - I never tire of "We Sell Soul" = genius !

Here's one of my favorite label designs. More in a mod fun style, typical of Australian 45 labels in the '60s. It's also infinitely rarer than the Spades (I didn't say greater ).

 

[Lee de Parade]

Very nice, sir!

When I was eyeballing the ZERO label in TBM, I happened to browse thru some other labels (of course, TBM is jam-packed!) and I totally fell in love with the expressionistic demo of Knight Riders I.
What's the story on that one? Happy accident? Or is that cowblood on the scan?

Nice design!
Sorry to ask, but is that pink really necessary? It's not very pleasant to look at...

 

[Lee de Parade]

Though not as awe-inspiringly handsome as the Spades ZERO, I still gotta love this...bee!

Is the Creatures coming out pink as well?
It isn't supposed to be pink. It's supposed to be a white label with red and orange lettering.
What are you seeing? On Internet Explorer everything is fine. Are you using Firefox?

Pink all the way...

 

[Lee de Parade]

Mind you, it was only The Spades who got the cool-label-of-ZERO-treatment. The ones after look less impressive.
But dig this!

I'm seeing it correctly.

I just downloaded Firefox, and now I can see what you mean. It's completely vivid pink, all over. Yuk!

After some experiments, I can say it has nothing to do with Photoshop colour profiles. I tried lots of different ones, and disabled embedded profiles as well. It's still pink in Firefox. I also tried saving as a png file instead of a jpg. It's still pink in Firefox.

Here's a screen grab I just did on my laptop, showing the same page opened in Explorer, and Firefox

 

[bosshoss]

This dual image screen grab was saved as a JPG out of Photoshop, the same way I saved the original scan after resizing and cropping. It appears in both Explorer and Firefox correctly, so it shows that Firefox can display the label correctly if it wants to. It just chooses not to. :confused:

So it looks like Firefox guys are going to have to get used to pink, unless I can work out wtf is happening, and find a way around it.

I prefer it pink, actually! Look Warhol-y
