  Somebody put up a site here a little while back, showing the Altitude 
cover.
  I took it for granted as a work of Ann Sheldon, but apparently not.
  In any case, it's Classic Blue Aeroplanes.
  Pity EMI couldn't stretch to a vinyl release.

    The cover for Altitude was taken from a painting by one of Gerard's 
friends. He liked the way the plane is exactly at right angles/follows the 
lines of the streets. EMI thoguht it was cool too and it reminded all of 
us in the meeting of a similar, very famous photo... I DID find out what 
that was but Ive forgotten again now! (Imagine it as a photo and in black 
and white and THATS the photo Im thinking of!)

    No 911 references, I think G has only just got the artwork for, it as 
his mate was still finishing it when the EMI deal was signed...

    Sommin like that anyway! I can't quite remember now, but this is the 
kinda thing that I want to put on the MySpace site. :) Little bits of 
trivia-ry info like this.

    blueaeroplanes.com will be live by the time Altitude comes out - they 
better get a wriggle on tho eh?! I think it's gonna be more of a 'chat 
about the albums' site rather than any kind of detailed and specific BA's 
place. Hence (again!) my ideas for MySpace.

    We really DO need a proper 'place' for all this stuff. ...and Pete, I 
will email you re: your offer! Thank you! :)

    There's a big, well-placed advert in yesterday's Guardian guide.  Well 
done EMI.  Shame about the bizarrely inserted apostrophe in Aeroplanes, 
though, and who decided to quote the 7/10 in NME? - I thought that was 
quite a low rating.
     
    The cover seems to be of a plane flying low over Manhattan - note the 
distinctive Chrysler building behind the title line.  A deliberate 
September 11 reference, a composite city, an old painting, or of no 
significance at all?  You decide....
     
    Yours controversially,
