EMG era singles artwork

I love they symmetry of the uk released EMG singles how they are very linear, similar and that cd1 and cd2 were almost colour reversals (especially in the case of EMG)

If I remember correctly I don't think they had the track listing or any info on the back (just the empty rectangle which was on the front with the single name) and all the info was in the cardboard inlays?

Yeah, no text on the back of the outer sleeves, but they did put those wrap-around stickers on the edge which always presented the choice: to peel off or to slice open?

There were also some radio promos of the singles with a third take on the colour schemes - a kind of dark almost black ADFL, a principally orange EMG, another green and yellow Australia, and a brown-on beige camouflage KC. All quite lovely IMHO.

The Farrow peeps are minimalists, and it shows. Pure class though.
