This time, the belgian firm StageCo who provided the huge Licks Tour stage in 2002-2003, names the next Rolling Stones tour "Manhattan Beach" on the website of the company :
great theme for a tour /album (hopefully it isnt only a working title)

The last album titles like Steel Wheels, Vodoo Lounge or Stripped turned me on from the first second....Babylon was a kind of mixture.. it got better for me after a while...
By the way...remeber Showdown, Too Tough....as for know I would say that SD would have beaten MB...but, we`ll see. by the way...who the @#$%& is that belgian STAGECO.... always thought it was Fisher design who build up the Stones stages the last tours....are they working together or what ? Who knows more about the connection between Fisher and Stageco ?

Mark Fisher is a designer, an architect of stage. StageCo is a builder.
Apparently they are often working together (U2, Pink Floyd, Licks and B2B tour, etc...)

Hi.....thank you arizojp....now I see things clearer. regards salar
Indeed it's a good cover. Let's hope the album one is nearly as good as arizojp's. In fact, it's amazing how a band like the Stones hasn't had a really good album cover since...
The cover's good, but I'm sort of dissapointed in the title since I learned it's an actual place. They might as well have called it Scheveningen Beach, Red Square, or Las Ramblas.. Too literal and the associations a bit too sunny and un-stonesy..

I agree that artwork used to be a little more important back in the LP days...but how can it possibly be important to the listening? It somehow enhances the audio experience? Huh?
T&A: The artwork was an essential part of the listening experience to me back in the vinyl days. I remember going every friday after work to the recordshop to see if there was any new interesting releases. If there was, I bought the ones I liked and went home ASAP. Putting on my headphones and studying the artwork as I listened. Sometimes one could find connections between the images and the music, and it enhanced the listening experience, at least I thought so back then. Today I think the art of artwork has taken a backseat due to the format of the cdcase, I almost get a feeling they see it only as a necessary evil and donĀ“t put any work or thought in to it. Just my 2 cents.
okay - but suppose the artwork was non-existant (remember the LP cover for Beggar's Banquet?) - that would somehow reduce the quality of the music? I don't get that. Great album + shitty cover = great album. Shitty album + great cover = shitty album.
I don't care about artwork normally but that cover of Times Sq at the beach is brilliant!
And good artwork doesn't hurt.
I know alot here don't like the cover of IORR but I love it. Actually it's my current screensaver. :0)
"Manhattan Beach" wouldn't hurt the band as a title cos it will probably help it sell in NYC cos of some silly New York connection, and that'll push it up the charts. Still I don't like the name.
But that cover rocks! Kudos arizojp!

Have you ever lent somebody $20 and never seen them again? It was probably worth it.

I do remember reading about people's strong dislike of Let It Bleed's coverart. Still amazes me. Granted I wasnt around to throw my two cents at those idiots but I still think its one of the most creative art pieces printed on a vinyl case.
