The Stranded Tour

This is a completely anonymous sleeve. I have no information on who made this or when.

It's a pretty good image for a Stranded tour show, evoking the greens and reds of that album's sleeve. I really like the way that the artist eliminated all the text from the front cover - bold move! - and used a gatefold effect. The front is very classy.

The back cover, on the other hand, is pretty awful. The only thing I like is the use of the same pink and green for the text areas, but the text areas themselves are lacking information. This among a small handful of bootlegs in my collection where the names of the songs aren't on the back cover. I'd say that if you're going to break with the hobby standard, it needs to be a stronger design than this.

Probably cobbled together for a trade CD; this does not appear to have been distributed widely among fans. Again, no idea who the model or the designer was.
