封面秀:溫蒂.史密斯 Wendy Smith

complete CD cover: Wendy Smith

來自英國威爾斯首府Cardiff Wendy Smith,上個世紀七零年代末,因為男友 Stuart Moxham 的關係,開始了唱片封面設計的經歷。Stuart Moxham 先後籌組過「Young Marble Giants」、「The Gist」兩個post punk音樂團體,其中 Young Marble Giants 雖然僅有一張正式專輯《Colossal Youth》,對另類音樂的發展卻有巨大而深遠的影響力(Kurt Cobain 生前曾宣稱 YMG 是他最鍾愛的樂團)。

需要特別說明的是,Young Marble Giants 時期,Wendy Smith 曾隨同該團赴美巡演,擔任攝影師一職;前述《Colossal Youth》的唱片封面卻與 Wendy Smith 無關,專輯發行遠早於巡演之前,該專輯封面實際上是由 Patrick Graham 所拍攝,大部分提到 YMG 的網站,卻因為 Wendy Smith“攝影師”的身份,而宣稱《Colossal Youth》的封面也是由她所拍攝的,這絕對是天大的謬誤(詳見右邊CD封底文字),實際上背面的圖案才是她設計的

The Gist」與「Weekend」(YMG女主唱 Alison Statton 後來的樂團)的音樂作品封面,大部分都是由 Wendy Smith 設計,這可能也是她在另類音樂史上留名的主要原因;90年代初,Wendy Smith 因為幫 The Magnetic Fields 繪製專輯封面,曾經短暫重回世人的視野,其後,又從樂壇消失,至今音訊全無。

這裡整理(我所知道)Wendy Smith 所有的唱片封面設計;另外,有兩款攝影為主的封面,因此未註明artwork設計者,但屬於 Wendy Smith 與樂團合作時期,故列入【未知 unknown】存檔;此外,以【延伸 extend的形式呈現,三款同時期、風格接近、但非 Wendy Smith(卻被誤認)設計的唱片封面;最後,特別將幾位常被弄混、誤植的同名之人及其代表作以【同名者 namesake的形式置於最末端。
