 |
|
I've scanned the Dio era Rainbow / Sabbath / Dio album covers in high quality. It's not all albums, only those I have in vinyl. I've made wallpapers in different resolutions as well.

Thanks for sharing that. I've taken a copy of Rising for my desktop wallpaper. Although I bought the albums when they were released in 83 and 84, that's the first time I've seen the Holy Diver and Last In Line paintings as foldouts. Cool!
I love that pic of Ronnie touching devil horns with a fan - it shows the respect he had for his fans, and that unique ability he had to play to a packed stadium and still make you feel as if he was playing just for you. That photo captures it perfectly.

Thank you, I thought about doing this myself, but as only own the CD's they'd look bad on high resolutions.

Great stuff. Any chance of getting the full cover (front & back together) for Live Evil? I like the full versions of the art and your carefully edited/cleaned wallpapers. Thanks!

Thanks, glad you liked them! It's been a labour of love (many hours per cover)...
The thing with Live Evil is that it's not ONE picture that's been divided into front and back, it's two separate paintings. So there's really no point in trying to fit them into one "foldout" picture...

Awesome job all around on your site! It is fantastic to finally have the full foldout covers (both versions without notes and the versions without) of Holy Diver, Last In Line, and Dream Evil.
THIS IS How I would like to see a tapestry done. The FULL PICTURES!! |
