I've loved this artwork since the moment I laid my eyes on it. So here's a little thread to show it off again.

That is great.

[Bernard Goetz]

It is such a great cover.

[MC Moot]

I love it...though,I remember seeing it for the first time and feeling something errie or strange about Yauch towards the back with the cat long before the health news...at first I thought it was a reference to the S.O.Science anthology cover but realized later that was D holding the cat on that...:(

[Micodin]

Thanks Camo...

Truly a great cover. It needs to be in my record bin.

[LuciferHam]

Yeah its maaaggggniifffiiceeennnttt artwork. Defs a shame that it wasn't the final version. Although I like the coloured blocks as well. Whateves, its all cool.

The original Root Down NBA version video. I have baffled even these boards with how to find this elusive video. Perhaps someone from the NBA collected all known copies and burned them as punishment for violating copyrights.

Walt Clyde Frazier was clearly the inspiration for the BBoys dressing up in the Grasshoff wardrobe.

Hopefully one day I will have this sitting on my digital shelf

my apologies, I think I misunderstood the topic of the thread

i wonder if anyone can help refresh my timeline?

was it '08 or '09 when Too Many Rappers was released and the rollout of BBoys In the Cut occured?

because I remember receiving the artwork & font for the "new record" in that time period as well.

this was after the reported Tadlock's Glasses title and fake dog photo but before the announced delay of what would become HSC2.

when were the other releases/leaks? how did Lee Majors drop again?

Pop Your Balloon featured in the NBA game and Here's A little Something For Ya was on DJ Hero or something like that....

this whole Mix Up into HSC era has been confusing to me since Adam's news in Summer '09.

I still think thats great, obviously never the album cover but it was a good image and a good prank(y)

I think that the real part one cover would make a great inside sleeve for some sort of gatefold.

The Record Store Day Super Surprise disc maybe? Although I remember hearing it before then...maybe it leaked from that?

thanks BG.

so it was some CYH deluxe packages that included the previews for HSC1 at the time (May '09). this must have been around the time the video games were using the songs.

I can't believe I skipped copping all the re-issues and now they are all sold out :(

Summer 2009- devastating.

The videogames were a done deal and dropped after the diagnosis.

Such an awsome cover.
