The original cover is brilliant specially if you get to see it in the Franciss Wolff Blue note cover book.
A grand angle shot on the front light of a spider.
Now that i come to think of it also JTQ used a very similar foto on an album released with Ubiquity go figure out the name of it....
The original Donald Byrd cover is supa dupa

OK, I just looked at the cover of the Byrd album. Yes, it's cool. But
there is a huge difference between the New Perspective album cover and the
Blue Note Revisited album cover. The original has the artist on it. The
Revisited cover has some anonymous lady in too much makeup and flapper
clothes. Why not stick a group shot of all the remixers on the cover,
standing by the car like Byrd did? THAT would have been a tribute. Also,
the original cover photograph looks to be in black and white. The new one
has color in it. I still stand by my statement that the new album art is
cheesy. Besides, with all the great artists out there, why couldn't the
label have commissioned a killer painting? Anyway, the album is good...the
cover isn't. Oh well. It's the music that matters, right?
