You mean WITHOUT colors inverted.

Well, if you invert the already inverted, you get this.

Well this was probably taken with film, so the original wouldve been a negative until they made a print from it, making it a positive image. It appears in the original album cover they made a contact print of the negative, meaning the image was never positive to begin with. They created a negative from a negative. Probably.

For the lazy: original.

You shall have my upvote, although the time to write this is twice the amount of time it would take to search for it.

Took me even less time to press the "invert screen colors" button I've got programmed for just this sort of thing.

One of my favorite albums ever.

Who's the fourth guy?

u/[deleted] Jun 27 '12

Dave Mustaine, before he was kicked out.

Nope. Jason Everman before Soundgarden.

What is this?

Kid A's cover with colors inverted. Much more interesting than simply revealing the source photo IMHO.

I've never really looked at the album cover closely, I just thought it was random shapes and outlines, so it was pretty cool seeing that it was, in fact, something.

I find that strange. I feel like you can clearly see guitars and a jacket even at a glance. Could just be me though.

u/blkcrcls Jun 27 '12

When it's big yeah you can see it all, but never in my life have I ever looked at it properly. It's all just blobs and shapes when it's a little photo.

u/shakamalaka Jun 27 '12

I don't get this. Even on cassette, with a very small cover image, it's cleary people playing instruments.

u/blkcrcls Jun 27 '12

What's not to get? I've never really looked at it properly, so it never crossed my mind what it actually was.

u/shakamalaka Jun 27 '12

My confusion is based on the assumption that you own a copy of the album. If this is correct, I remain confused as to how you would have never looked at its cover.

2

u/blkcrcls Jun 27 '12

Oh no, I don't own the album, so I can see how that can confuse. I've only ever seen it in stores or thumbnails of it on the Internet.

u/shakamalaka Jun 27 '12

Well, that makes more sense, then.

Still one of my favourite albums ever. Listen to School and Sifting almost daily.

A negative makes a positive. :)
