Junkies should check out this new book by Patrice Caillet called "Discographisme Re-Creatif" one hundred and twenty eight pages of reclaimed sleeve art that Patrice and his crew have found in car boot sales, second-hand stores and other dead zones.

I got roped in really late to help avant-garde poster boy Gwen Jamois translate Patrice's very thoughtful preface into English, so blame me for any bad grammer. I also sent Patrice one of my own sleeves:

a thoroughly goofy cover drawing I did as a teenager for my damaged copy of Lee Dorsey's "Yes We Can". It still makes me laugh.
