Lol I like it it is at least different.

But I always prefer the original artwork because that was how it was released and how we know it. So that feels more natural.

Only problem is there is no original artwork. So Pressure Sounds had entirely free hands in doing something to reflect the music's character. And they chose that horrible art work. I can't understand it. Thinking of buying it and discarding the sleeve. Hopefully they'll have a nice screen print that makes it worthwhile.

They could have used this cover and just replaced the "Terminal" at the bottom with "Pressure Sounds".

I think at least that would have fitted more with the origins of the music.

What they also could have done is to make an artistic rendition of the King Sighta LP on Terminal and change it to Zion Hill. Could be very cool!

Personally I think the one you made and put up and the B&F board is 100% better then the PS one, When I buy it I will be using your artwork not theirs, I just can't believe how incredibly crap it is, don't they eyes? it looks like one of the millions of bootleg MP3 album covers that you see on amazon etc often with the same 20 Bunny Lee tracks recycled over and over. Pressure Sounds is a quality label, it baffles me why they have done such a crap album cover for this, I still think it must be a joke

Just listened to a promo copy of Zion Hill, and it doesn't float my boat at all. Some nice melodica work, but Bobby Kalphat was no Pablo, that's for sure. Interesting for the couple of Black Ark recordings, but I think I'll pass on this one.

I was a afraid of that Mick, Phil Pratt did some amazing productions, but melodica played in any way but the most chilled out and mystic tends to set my teeth on edge.

Is full of melodica or reasonably sparce?
