The people on the apprentice had to flog some work done by that artist on the last series - I remember thinking then how sh** his work was (bad banksy style stuff) and now he has done this which looks like some rubbish 'neu!' rip-off. Disappointed.
But I began to wonder; does it really matter? In the old days when you went to buy a 7" or 12" or even a cd single the artwork would be a big thing but this is really little more than a tiny thumbnail. It's still shit though.
1 - "Copyright: 2013 Rough Trade Records Ltd. under exclusive licence from Pulp" ............. so they are defo signed up to Rough Trade 2 - That logo is what was used on the new tshirts since they were released at Wireless Festival....... so Designers Republic have been dropped. New logo, New image, New song, TV Appearance........
Rough Trade was always likely given that's who's managed them since 1992. They likely have a very flexible arrangement with them - "if you ever fancy putting stuff out, do it through us. There's never any problem" kinda thing. If it was through Warners for example you could be almost certain that a full album was in the works.
