I would agree with you on the covers front. 'Dog..' was VERY Smithsian almost to the point of self-parody. A sure fire case of wearing influences on your sleeve. I'm also reminded of the old Woodentops and, to an extent Housemartins, sleeves. Anyone else have an opinion?

Funny, I never thought of the Smiths with the Dog on Wheels cover, but yesterday when I saw the cover of 3..6..9 I thought of them immediatly. The colours reminded me of "Rank". I like the B & S covers, very nice. And I like the wee stories. The smiths never gave you a wee story. The last band who's covers I loved were that of Suede. Remember the white backgrounds with the 'artistic' images on the front? I was gutted when they stopped doing them. I'm very talkative today, aren't I? Chris Hi Chris. I haven't seen the cover of the new ep - but I'm going to buy it today after uni. I was at a club in Edinburgh last Saturday and they played a couple of tracks from it which was of course excellent. I know what you mean about the Suede covers - I saw an article about them somewhere which also included most of the old covers which was nice and made ----------me dig them out to look at.
