Scream City 4 was made to look like it was done on a photocopier in the Seventies. Nearly all text was set in fixed-width Courier New for that old school typewriter vibe. The cover featured a photograph of Vini Reilly by Rachel McFarlane that was processed by Steven Hankinson in halftone. The title was done in Dymo for that added retro feel. An alternate rejected cover strategy was to have included some old Situationist graphics. This got as far as a simple test before being scrapped.
The back cover continued the anagrammatical nonsense that we expected to see in this location with 'Mystic E Car'. Ian McCartney bought on eBay the mascot off an old Jag which the seller had in turn bought off Tony Wilson. The jaguar figurine was broken and as the owner was doing a refurb he put it up for sale. Apparently the proceeds from the sale were donated to The Christie in Manchester where AHW had been treated during his illness. Steven treated the image in halftones and I added in some random photocopier noise that I picked up from the rubbish pile at work.
