Is it a sign that I am a complete saddo that one of my favourite pastimes is hitting refresh on the Roots-Archives front page to reload another set of random cover and label artwork.

Hours of fun this one, give it to someone this Christmas.

this is indeed a good amusement!! ;-)

to the moderators:
is it possible to put the "Releases of the month" news under the random cover-selection so that we dont need to scroll down to them? as it was before..
that would be perfect!

bye

Yes you are sad Leggo - but you're not doing anyone any harm. Have you done it often enough yet to be able to name every cover on sight? Do you know how many covers there are in total? If the answer to either of these questions is no then you've cause to keep going till its yes. Anyone able to answer yes?

Hey Ja Glu - I have a HUGE list on a text file of 'must haves' caused directly by the 'refresh the random artwork' game. So this is turning into one very expensive habit!

Charlie - Unfortunately I can rarely remember which covers I looked at just before the previous refresh, let alone how many of them there are there! Must be something to do with a mis-spent youth - and an equally mis-spent middle age...

Hi guys,

To make this game more fun, we've added a new feature to the home page. Just click the "reload" link above the artwork, and you will get a new set of random cover without refreshing the whole page.

**warning** : this is highly addictive, use it at your own risk :)

Have fun.
Mat

you should add a feature were we can save a wishlist so we don't have to bookmark the albums we find that way.
