NAS box...?

[Ras Berry]

Some pictures just appeared on the On-U F#cebook site along with this message:

"Some new work from artist Andy Martin commissioned for an On-U Sound project coming early next year. Keep your eyes peeled in 2021"

I reckon this is the NAS boxed set. If memory serves me Andy Martin did the artwork on the first NAS album, as Bill Bell. I was in touch with him briefly probably a decade or so back and it seemed his main memory was having to use his local phone box to repeatedly chase On-U for his promised payment. He also mentioned having a pre release cassette of the album and it containing different songs/versions to the released album. Said he lost the tape years ago though. He also wasn't a fan of the 'enhanced' artwork on the Efa CD. I didn't ask about his thoughts on the Australian one







Could be completely wrong though, of course!

I assume it would be for the NAS box.

I think he, as Bill Bell, popped up or was mentioned recentlyish somewhere. Rather like Nobby for the comments on Starship Africa.

I got in touch with him after I happened across a Mothmen illustration that he'd put up on his website. I'm almost certain I posted about it either on here or on the On-U list, but I've searched both and can't find anything - strange

That's probably what I was thinking of. Wasn't even that long ago!

That was just me referencing my supposed earlier post/email

Maybe it was on the email list - I'll have to have a deeper look...
