Nightlife Cover Minus Neil & Chris

#1 Post by y3potential »

Apologies for a new thread, but there's isn't a "request" section here..

A while back I saw a photo online somewhere of what looked like the Nightlife cover but without Neil and Chris, just the seats. Not sure if it was a promo photo or one taken before they took their positions or indeed someone taking a photo to replicate the original. Either way, I was wondering if anyone else has seen it or indeed has it to share..

I don’t have that, but sharing this in case useful or of interest: the cover photo without the blur.

Thank you. I really do appreciate that. I know I'm not going mad, I definitely recall seeing a photo of just the seats, but again not sure if it was from the "official" shoot or someone taking a photo in a similar spot on the subway.. Thanks again, Dog 😉👍🏻

Good image... thanks.

The 90s were a bit of a Blur for me!

Is it? It looks funny. Like it was photoshopped over the blurred image.
Look at Neils hair, for example.

I'm pretty sure Chris' face is taken from the New York city boy sleeve and Neil's from the I don't know what you want but I can't give it any more.
And I'm definitely sure Chris is not wearing glasses on the original unblurred image

I looked in the Further Listing booklet and it's not in there.. I don't have Extra, so you could well be correct.

You may well be right.

I agree, Neil isn't looking straight at the camera like that on the Nightlife cover.

Good cover for a potential instrumental version?

Great!

I always assumed the blur was from a long exposure
