Title: Heroes And Villains released single sleeve art Post by: TheCanterburySound on January 09, 2012, 09:03:06 PM (http://www.millerbull.com/cortex/smile/images/heroes2.jpg)
Does anyone have any more info on this art that was used for the sleeve of the Heroes And Villains single? Who was it created by? When was it created? Any other info would be nice, I'm just curious about it... Title: Re: Heroes And Villains released single sleeve art Post by: Andrew G.

Seriously, who designed it? Why so out-of-step with the times? The image doesn't exactly reference the lyric either.

Possibly. I figured about that much ::) Title: Re: Heroes And Villains released single sleeve art Post by: willy on January 11, 2012, 02:37:03 PM Illustrated by someone called Green, if you look lower right.
But on which release/in which territory was it used? Come to think of it... *was* it used? Title: Re: Heroes And Villains released single sleeve art Post by: Mikie on January 11, 2012, 02:56:41 PM Yes. It was used in the good ol' U.S. of A.
Here's another Heroes & Villains sleeve too from the U.S. that's rarer than that one: http://www.popsike.com/The-Beach-Boys-RARE-Picture-Sleeve-HEROES-AND-VILLAINS-/280737976676.html Title: Re: Heroes And Villains released single sleeve art Post by: Bicyclerider on January 11, 2012, 08:00:41 PM Not used in the US though. It was to be the sleeve for the 2sided single in February, but after the delays the new sleeve was prepared and the old sleeves used for the european release in Sweden. I'd love to see the internal memos on all this - why not use the original sleeves in the Us? Who actally thought the cartoon sleeve was better? Brian?

In addition to a few other countries. I believe mine came out of Canada.

Alot of them don't have that Title: Re: Heroes And Villains released single sleeve art Post by: Mark H. on January 12, 2012, 04:58:23 AM I'm sure the cartoon sleeve was created as a result of the "Brother Records" deal - that made the Capitol sleeves obsolete in the USA.
