So jealous. I don’t think its called the Carlyle any more is it? Impressed that you got the photographer to frame you correctly too!

The photo was shot in 2012, I don’t know if it is called “the Carlyle” today... the almost corretto framing is because I’m a photographer and I told my friend who took the photograph where to stand Image
This is another photo of the hotel taken later that day

Love Comes Quickly - such an iconic picture and capture of the 80's with Chris' BOY London cap
Nightlife - so sleek, mysterious and love that it looks like a moving picture
So Hard - Sums them up perfectly
what a performance tonight, should I react or turn off the light ?

Apologies for dragging up and old thread (but a good one) but does anyone know the font used on the cover of Introspective..? I'm guessing nimbus sans extended, but that is only a guess..

Hmmm…. don’t the counters on the original cover look too small to be nimbus sans pro bold extended?

Difficult, the original is too small to see the nuances.

Indeed. That's why I'm not entirely sure. I'm hoping someone here will have the definitive answer. Thanks anyway..😉👍🏻

Even Farrow has probably long since forgotten. My best guess: helvetica neue 93 ext black.

The very artwork is great. When i was a kid i always saw this album while searching disc trays.

I like fundamental artwork and the contrast with the pink album beautiful. And the black opaque case is classy.

The nightlife sleeve is amazing. The design is great.

I'm going to be a few short hours away from there soon, and trying to convince my wife we should take a road-trip...

I always loved the Street's cover photograph.
