The debut album artwork for The BibleCode Sundays was originally released in by the band in 2006. The original brief was to work from the title track and develop a look that would reflect the bands London Irish Roots.
I found an image of an old man with a pint, staring off into the distance – this seemed very poignant when coupled with the title of the album. He was faded to become almost see through – becoming a ghost himself. It speaks of places like Hammersmith (which is in the background of the cover), Shepherds Bush, Cricklewood, Kilburn etc that were huge Irish communities of migrant workers moving to London to send money home, or to start new lives. That generation has since died off, or moved home or out to other locations, yet the ghosts of those people live on through our generation.
The album was released in America in 2009 through Cosmic Trigger Records, and as a consequence the artwork was given a rework – this is the artwork seen above.
This album is available as a download from the bands website: www.thebiblecodesundays.com and from Amazon: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Ghosts-Past-Bible-Code-Sundays/dp/B001CW7LW0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1258535617&sr=8-1
