But that's where that design continuity stops, not on the record centres/CDs or any similar artwork seen anywhere else on the promo shot. Weak seems the right words to use as some have been saying, seems rushed. Now compare it to the Toydrum boxset, which shows how it should be done. At least it's relatively cheap!

Technically yes, James should be contacting the artists he steals/borrows from. Which may be why they're annoyed at him. It depends on who owns the publishing rights. If it's James, he can use the images as often as he wants to. Or he may have made a deal where the images have been licensed to him to use them in certain circumstances – i.e. to promote Unkle. In which case, album artwork would by fine. Given that there were issues between him and Futura about the use of Pointmen for Surrender, I imagine he's probably learned to clarify things like that.

As it was all quite a while ago when James was still very young I can't imagine they had any formal agreement at all. Plus Futura wouldn't be pissed off at him for nothing. His reaction to the Dunkles (Sneaker Headz film) was pretty funny, I'd love to know more about that situation. But who knows.
Anyway, looking forward to hearing the music on the new LP. Managed to hold off listening to too much in advance. I'll be happy if there are a few more as good as Lullaby.

For most of the editions I agree with you, but the artwork on the coloured vinyl edition seems more a lot more nice and integrated, with parts of the painting being used throughout. This is clearly the only one to get. The last Unkle album cost about £100 I recall, so £35 is a steal I agree!

I'm still calling no Drury involvement unfortunately. The £99 last album does show how much cheaper this is!

Have to agree, wasn't sure about the colour choice for the vinyl but after seeing the inner sleeve it makes sense. I like the cover, probably would be better without the old man but I quite like the green monkey bones!

Found this today while moving stuff. Still badass. James - Part 2 maybe? ;-)

oh man! I forgot about that.
That was quite nice, and ... wasn't there a deal about the inks? Aren't they UV?
Mine's in a box... somewhere

Wut? Must have been press only. We know most of the tracks already though so no huge loss.

Probably an industry/press showcase. Pre-social media, the public would never have known. But this kind of thing is pretty common.
