jonski43 Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 There's not many other photos from the shoot that could have worked as a cover, but I think these could be acceptable: Personally, as much as I love the Demachalier 1960's NYC apartment shoot, a lot of the images weren't really album cover material. They should have just stuck with the Roversi shoot. I actually like these cover variations but don't like the Roversi shot. She looks like she's got the flu.

karbatal Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 The Riversi shot works beautifully for the 12" maxi single, because of the colour effect when you move it. It's simply STUNNING Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bluejean Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 I like that image Karby but I don't think it works for the album. The album has a warm, sensual and romantic feel to it for the most part. And that image is so cold. It suits the song Bedtime Story but not the majority of the album. The shoot they used is very suitable, they just need a more suitable image from it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

promise to try Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 There's not many other photos from the shoot that could have worked as a cover, but I think these could be acceptable: ALL of them! all of them would have been great!!! but the last one could have been a perfect album cover!

Just imagine the packaging having that metallic glossy effect. Stunning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karbatal Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 But Bluebabe is right, it doesn't suit the whole album. I like this one A LOT, but maybe back then it would have been a disasster, with Madonna being called the whore of babylone after ERotica Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingvirtue Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 What about this picture? Maybe crop it closer towards her elbow, or make it black and white? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryan Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Sure, but that doesn't make these songs cold. And I must confess, instead of spring, it's always winter I'm not saying the songs are off-putting, distant, and impersonal. They have a melancholy nature about them, the production is cold and moody, and has moments of sorrow. It's not a particularly "loud" album, it's subtle, almost silent compared to her others. That's why I think the Roversi pics might have worked, bt we've only seen a few pictures, so who knows... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karbatal Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 I agree with Whoppie, maybe that's why Madonna wanted those pictures. It's a really bare album, and shows a very vulnerable Madonna. Far more than LAP, where she dealt with personal issues but in a empowered way. But BS is Madonna facing a difficult time and finding herself lost (she was found again with ROL). And those pictures show her as a little girl, lost in the monster persona she had created. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plaything Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 The Riversi shot works beautifully for the 12" maxi single, because of the colour effect when you move it. It's simply STUNNING This has always been my favorite Madonna cover - single or album. It is simply gorgeous, she looks like a Goddess! I always wondered why they didn't choose this as the cover for Bedtime Stories. While I like the one they used, it is not that special and is one of her weakest compared to her other great covers IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karbatal Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 By the way, i've always found BS more erotic than Erotica. It's simply sensual and beautiful, to cuddle, to have sex, to kiss. I know the concept is different and that exploring sex is one thing and have sex is another, but whenever i think of songs of Madonna to have sex, BS comes to mind.

Je5u5 Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 I think to improve the cover they could have played around with the placement of the text. I know in the revised cover, the title gets lost in the aqua bed spread, they could have just switched the pink text color from Madonna and vice versa. This is what they should've done. Do you have this on 600x600 or higher? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
