Let's be honest you didn't design anything it's just a grid collage of the album covers.

Here's the pic:

It is nice to see all of the covers in one place.
Got to love the Farrow designs in particular.

A reminder for everyone, if you enjoy the images please support the band and order the officially licensed graphic book releasing April 2026. https://shop.petshopboys.co.uk/eu/pet-s ... 27479.html

The black square and circle one caught me out too. If really want to get anal, the blue Spotify version of Super is missing. But we're they type of fans that will argue over what should and shouldn't be there for ages ;)

You're a proper chip-pisser aren't you? ;)

Can anyone tell me what the blank black square is between Absolutely fabulous and Yesterday?

Nice! I think it would be nice to have some whitespace between the images, that would make them stand out more. Also, in some cases there are hype stickers in the photos, I think it would look better without those stockers but that's just my opinion.

I do understand that you needed to do exclude some covers due to lack of space, but i would skip some of the later "almost-duplicate" covers (for example, some of the "Home & dry" ones) and include some of the earlier remix 12"s instead,

I have been out of the country for too long. I have not heard this expression before and I am going to bank it for future reference! :lol:

I guess it’s for the outer slipcase design for the CDs.

Weren’t the colours slightly different on the CD version of Introspective?
Also, the limited 3x12” with the band isn’t on there.

Love the poster though, well done!

They're released by ZYX who have the rights to them, so they're definitely "legal".

The biggest problem with their inclusion is the timing. For example, "West End Girls - Mixes" wasn't released until 1992, and contains mixes that had not been released prior.

Personally, I'd be inclined to leave out any Bobby O era stuff (or subsequent remixes) that come out after they moved to Parlophone. Once the 1985 version of West-End Girls was released, any re-release or re-hash of the older material are just tacky cash-ins.

Retro. :)

And the Introspective cover is just a collage of stripes, and the Yes cover is just a collage of squares etc.

The decision to lay the covers out in a grid is design.

You told it better, and I completely agree.
