troccoli Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 Yeah their has been some debate about the street of dreamspersonally i think the low quality printing gives it away as being fakeThe one on the left is the Japanese promo started appearing out of nowhere last yearI suspect some of these to be fakeAlso just because it has the hand cover it could of just been printed out CD cover size on the computer the image is already outTrue, but I know someone who has one and I believe them, and more importantly, here is a link to the band using the alternate artwork images from the booklet in concert:http://www.mygnrforum.com/index.php?showtopic=160850Look for my reply on there.

Ghostie Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 I also think the hand version in the picture could be a fake, mostly due to the lack of a thin black boarder, like the one on the standard bicycle cover, as it would cut off the bottom of the hand by a few millimeters.

Guest King Of Spades Posted April 4, 2010 Share Posted April 4, 2010 The hand cover and Street Of Dreams are both real.They actually use the art of SOD live. Or they did in Asia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Bonham Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 (edited) The Chinese lettering near the spine is very different on the alternate book.See:Q: Axl, was there ever a cover B and cover C for "Chinese Democracy"?Axl: "Yes, there are. There are two more covers/back-cover combos and the real booklet that is all artwork that will be out shortly in some form. It's been an ugly battle that hasn't made any sense to anyone and whether anyone cares about such things the booklet or artwork has always been something I've been passionate about and to release the album with unapproved and unseen final artwork with a first work-only error-filled draft when others more recent were readily available still has not been explained but is finally getting cleared up. My fave is the 'How Are You' grenade cover." Edited April 5, 2010 by John Bonham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Bonham Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 Axl did a tremendous job selecting the art work.Some of it might be seen as controversial, but it certainly is aesthetically beautiful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roxxy Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 Pretty nice. The first one looks like it could be one of the originals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
