Early versions of Polvo's "Todays Active Lifestyles"

GrungeMonkey · 01.10.2008, 01:37 PM

first off, what an awesome album...

but

i saw this on wikipedia:

Today's Active Lifestyles is Polvo's second studio album. It was released on Merge Records in 1993. Early versions featured red tigers in the yellow color field, but these were soon removed due to a threatened lawsuit by their painter. "Tilebreaker" was released as a 7" single.

anyone got any images of one of these early versions?

my friend , a fellow record geek, has it on vinyl, and CD
the jehova's witnesses sued them. it was not a lawsuit by the artist but by the jehova's witness church.

fucking awesome album

I've been totally obsessed with Polvo for about the last 6-7 months. I heard Exploded Drawing this summer and ever since then I've been obsessed. Pretty much my biggest influence right now.

yeah, I've been obsessed with them for a good 4 years now. They never get old. My guitar is tuned to polvo's tuning on today's active lifestyles/celebrate.

I'm actually getting sick of that tuning though, I think it may be time for something else...

Try one of my tunings!

Haha I was going to start a thread asking what version everyone has. I got the CD version with the Tigers. Second hand about $10AU.

thanks for that.

i think it looks better without the tigers actually, i always liked the simple design of it.

I have it without the tigers.
and fuck do I rock to it
