"Hot!" - People Magazine (People Magazine )


Product Description

More than 200 witty images that are as addictive as popping bubble wrap but a lot more fun. This hilarious book immortalizes the craze that began while DJ Carl Morris was having a bit of fun in a Wales bar. Here is how Sleevefacing works: You find an old-school vinyl record sleeve with a nice head-shot of your musical icon (Elvis or David Bowie or Debbie Harry will do nicely), put the sleeve in front of your face, and strike a pose. Now get someone to snap your photo. This growing Web phenomenon has its own Web site (sleeveface.com), Facebook presence, and thousands of inventive practitioners around the globe. Sleeveface compiles the cleverest of these images: the faux Morrisseys, wannabe Bob Dylans, and lookalike Madonnas whose posture and clothing is in perfect sync with their idols most classic record covers. With essays that celebrate the merits of vinyl in an age when music has gone digital, it will appeal to record collectors, music lovers across the generations, and anybodywhich is to say everybodywho ever fancied him or herself a rock god.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hilarious!, Nov 23 2008
By Peter J. Rockwell (Halifax, NS Canada) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Sleeveface: Be The Vinyl is a hilarious book of ingeniously thought out images that will have you digging through your attic looking for those long forgotten LP so that you can get in on the fun. A great gift for the music fan, or anyone who just needs a good laugh.

4.0 out of 5 stars Cover-up, Nov 15 2008
By Robin Benson - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   

This is a really clever idea that I'm surprised took so long to arrive in book form. LPs were displaced by the CDs years ago yet a whole bunch of folk have found the appropriate face shot sleeve to photograph. Actually they do vary quite a lot I though. The most successful photos are the ones where someone has taken the trouble to get the same clothing to match the sleeve and then framed the image so the background works as well.

Some work really well: Marissa Robles managed to find a harp to go with The world of the harp, Decca 1974; a Jo Anne Castle Pickwick covers someone's head and shoulders perfectly; Bonnie Tyler's 1983 CBS sleeve just has added fingers to succeed.

Carl Morris and John Rostron, the two Welsh authors, just sort of drifted into the idea while Djing one night and predictable the concept ended up as a website for everyone to join in.

A fun paperback of two hundred photos than will definitely give you a smile and probably an idea for that old LP cover laying around somewhere in the house.
