... and nothing in Switzerland yet...
... and no replies from DMG yet...

but just took receipt of my third Polaroid collage! So Opium (Arts) Ltd is a touch more reliable than those other geezers!

No copies seen in Italy.

Arrived today. Lovely. The design of the booklet reminds me of the Dead Bees On A Cake CD/Everything And Nothing Tour Book.

mine too (Italy as well). I agree about the design feel, in fact the 'solarised' artwork and text font used remind me of Trophies II even more.

True. I wonder what the reasons are for this revival of a style used 13 years ago?

I don't think the resemblance is something they consciously pursued, I would say it's simply a by-product of Bigg's/4AD's (his previous gig) usual designing methods and style. same could be said e.g. for the font and header arrangement on the Manafon cover resembling those on the Beehive cover etc..
