Here are some small JPGs I got off the web of album covers I did back in the old school days for Newcleus and Afrika Bambaataa and Soul Sonic Force. The Afrika Bambaataa lettering was done by Pete Friedrich and the Newcleus logos were done by Pat (Redding) Scanlon. Sorry about the poor quality of the Newcleus JPG's.

wow, those are really amazing, i didn't know you could also do that kind of non cartoony stuff!
Hey thanks Gabriel. Yep, this stuff is from before I did that cartoony stuff that I'm mostly known for.
Very intereting to show us, every stuff you did before. THx
YOU DID THE R.O.F. ALBUM COVER?!?! Bob, are you even aware of how LEGENDARY that song is in the hip-hop community? Jesus Christ!
Yeah, I had an idea. I'm only sorry I didn't do more album covers.
Bob please do !
Is Tommy Boy still around?
You mean this ?
I love the Afrika Bambaataa! Great to see you in blog form!
Hey Bob! Good to see you blogging!

Back cover on this one sez lettering's by Pete!
Hey Randy! How the hell are you?
You have the album? Cool! I'm probably wrong about the letering but that was a hundred years ago. How are you? What's up?
Yep, I have the record. I went through an Arthur Baker phase back then.
I'm doing good, doing web stuff for Stevens Institute here in Hoboken. Other web clients, too. Also running the web-based (for now) Jack Kirby Museum & Research Center (http://kirbymuseum.org)
Do you need a scan of the Boy George poster? I can provide, if so.
Hey Randy I'll check out the Kirby thing for sure. I don't have the Boy George thing. I'd love to have a jpg!
I didn't do a perfect job on the stitching, but here 'tis:

Yeah, it's a shame that you really don't have those twelve inches of space to work with on a release anymore. Maybe on a remix single, but vinyl is really not a mainstream format anymore. Sad.
Just got the RENEGADES OF FUNK album. Great work!
