Cover Art - Not original for DP


I just saw the cover for the S&M show in Athens Sep 26, 1991. It is very similar in concept to the ROTD cover. The Acropolis is shown very clearly and its reflection in a pool of water is all twisted.

You can view it (as well as covers for ALL bootlegs for DP and Rainbow) at this site:

Click on the 90s for DP and scroll down to Sep 26, 1991. There are 2 entries. Check out the Front for: Athens Greece 1991.

I cant really see that, it is rippled in the water, not twisted.

Also no one standing, or indeed no trees.

Then again maybe my imagination is going twisted!!!!

And in ROTD, isn't the image in the water 'straight' as opposed to the man himself, who is twisted?

A very nice bootleg cover, Joe!

It's a wonderful bootleg-cover but for my eyes they only have the mirrowing idea in common.

Did you do it, Joe? If yes, which program did you use?

Hi - I did not make that cover.

I see twisted columns in the reflection in the water. And straight columns looking at the Parthenon itself.

The *concept* is similar to the ROTD cover.
They are obviously not identical. <g>

I'll have to try that on another object for my home made collection.

Thanks for the tip.

I'm neutral on the cover...I'm just glad they didn't go back to some quasi Dungeons and Dragons crud like they put TBRO.

Re: Cover Art - Not original for DP


I'm not sure which cover 69 meant. Rapture or the bootleg cover mentioned in the first post of this topic.

I wasn't speaking about the ROTD-cover. emoticon
