Oh my pleasure – anytime…

Now all questions about this can be redirected and I can stop artfully ignoring them.

I concur! I’d pick up a Surf-Skate-Snow magazine or film over any of those others.

I can’t decide if I think Adrenaline or Extreme Sports is worse though!!

great cover!
in concept,
reminds me of the LP cover from
the Firesign Theatre:
“Waiting for the Electrician..or Someone Like Him”
in their case..they were deconstructing the Euroinvasion of Nth America.
among other things.
great artists sometimes think alike.

Surf-Skate-Snow! Better than:

“Adrenaline Sports” Ugh.

Or “Extreme Sports” Ugh x 2

Or “Lifestyle Sports” Ugh x 3

I love that cover. Nicely done. But anything marketed as Surf-Skate-Snow is a road to ruin.

Hahaha we should do a version, but with a “Where’s Eddie?” game.

I only wish I could claim it as my own – I am, however, nowhere near that resourceful or interesting!

You need to ask Plainspoke, who emailed it to me from their own archive…
