Hello! I know there are so many talented Cover-Artists out there and there are so many different versions for one CD or DVD. So, to have some more options here are some of my Covers for DVD's and CD's i made. First i'd like to start with a DVD-Cover for the Hammersmith 1979 Concert for the People of Kampuchea. I worked closely to the original design of the LP! Hope you like it! Rock On - DeeJay B. |
Manuel Benes 06.04.2007 12:09 |
Next one is for the 1980's Documentary "The Champions". The MPEG-Files where posted here some time ago and i made a DVD out of it. Will post the DVD here soon, when i fixed my torrent-programme. Rock On - DeeJay B. |

Manuel Benes 06.04.2007 12:13 |
My cover for the 1994 Great Sanyo Music Experience with Roger Taylor. The DVD can be downloaded here on queenzone. Rock On - DeeJay B. |
Manuel Benes 06.04.2007 12:19 |
Last one for now my cover for the Queen + Paul Rodgers live in Vienna 2005 DVD. The Photos are taken by me at the concert (except for the last of the little ones on the back, was taken by a friend)! Brian May liked the first picture and posted it on his website! And also Brian wanted to use the third pic for the Official ROTC-DVD, but it is not in the booklet! What a bummer! Rock On - DeeJay B. |

Thank you so much,these ones are really great |
Manuel Benes 27.06.2007 01:36 |
Now that the Vienna 1986 DVD-torrent is working again here is a cover i made for this DVD! Hope you like it! |
Manuel Benes 27.06.2007 01:41 |
And another DVD-Cover i made for the Knebworth 86-Show. In a simple AKOM-Style! |
Manuel Benes 27.06.2007 01:45 |
This next one is for the Manchester 1986-DVD, also a basic Magic-Style. Thanks to queenconcerts.com, where i got the pic of the ticket! |
digitalizado2000 27.06.2007 22:53 |
many thanks! your artwork is really great! Congratulations!! |
boggle 28.06.2007 09:36 |
Nice covers but why do you do the spines the wrong way round? |
Manuel Benes 28.06.2007 09:57 |
Well, some DVD's are made this way, some that way. And I personally like it better this way. But with a good (or even mediocre) Paint-Programm you can cut the spine out, flip it 180 degrees and save the pic again! |
digitalizado2000 28.06.2007 12:11 |
what software do you use? Photoshop or other? |
Manuel Benes 28.06.2007 14:14 |
Other - Ulead Photo Impact |
Padilla 29.06.2007 11:01 |
Hey Manuel, that Vienna '86 artwork is beautiful. Thank you!!! |
Manuel Benes 22.12.2008 01:22 |
So, long time no see! Made a new one for the Earls Court Double-DVD, which was shared again here recently. Hope you like it! Cheers |
tjleone 22.12.2008 01:57 |
Great cover!!! Thank you very much. |
Manuel Benes 23.12.2008 14:01 |
Another DVD-Cover i made recently for the Music Box-DVD. Parts of the Cover are in german, it was a german Broadcast! Cheers |
Manuel Benes 25.12.2008 10:27 |
Newest Cover from me for the Brian May in Moscow DVD. Sort of Grindhouse/Deathproof-Style. But not as good as it could be. Made this just for fun! Cheers |
rhapsody8 25.12.2008 10:43 |
Very nice covers. Earls Court 2 DVD is impressive.. |

Manuel Benes wrote: Let's see, something like this? Hope pittrek likes the logo! [img=/images/smiley/msn/wink_smile.gif][/img] Cheers Hi Manuel, very nice ! I'd say it's "almost" perfect, I have just 2 comments : [listu] [li]could you add pictures of Brian, Roger and John to the back ? Something like the Wembley DVD ? [li]my version has also a bonus - Killer Queen & the Rock'n'Roll medley from the second night [/listu] Otherwise it's pretty good ! |
Manuel Benes 27.12.2008 08:14 |
Hi! I made the cover before i downloaded your version. Will change it a little bit tomorrow. I'm thinking of removing the Sun-flare. If you would like it to have another Title instead of "Earls Evening Races" let me know! Cheers |
Manuel Benes 28.12.2008 10:44 |
Another revised version of my Earls court DVD-Cover. For the pittrek-remastered-edition now with [listu] [li]corrected Tracklist (saturday's allright added) [li]added Bonus Features [li]corrected Running Time [li]with pics of Brian, John and Roger on the back [li]without the sunflare-effect [/listu] So, hope you like it. I'm always open for any comments and help! Cheers PS: Funny thing - found a bootleg on the internet from the Kampuchea-DVD and the bootlegger was using my Cover, which i postet here as my first cover - even the barcode is the same, and i made that just for fun, using my birthday, streetnr. and zip-code for the numbers! |
queenside 29.12.2008 08:27 |
great cover! you should get a job at QP and design covers for official queen releases! keep the good work |
Bo Alex 13.01.2009 12:20 |
Great cover for the EC pittrek's remastered DVD. A work like pittrek has done deserves a nice artwork, and you finally got it (it takes you 3 momentaries versions). Thanks!!!! |
Manuel Benes 25.01.2009 09:41 |
So, have another one ready. This is for the Parkinson-TV-Show from 18th May 2002, feat. Ben Elton, Queen, WWRY-Cast, Barry Manilow and Charlotte Uhlenbroek. With live Performances from Queen (Somebody To Love, Hammer To Fall, We Will Rock You, We Are The Champions) and Barry Manilow (Turn The Radio Up). This is for the whole show, not only the Queen-live-Bits. Titled "Queen + Ben Elton" [img=/images/smiley/msn/teeth_smile.gif][/img] Rock On PS: I hope this works here and you can download the Cover and not just any other pic from somewhere around the board! |
Manuel Benes 28.01.2009 13:14 |
Made another one for the Al Murray Happy Hour Performance in April 2008! Hope you like it! Rock On Manuel |
Manuel Benes 28.01.2009 18:08 |
Man, seems that i'm much too bored, so i made another one. This is for the DoRo-Concertfilm "Back to the Light live" - Recorded during the South America Tour 1992, with some Backstage footage, Soundchek, Plane-Flight and so on. I Recorded this TV-Show back in 1993 on ORF (Austrian Television) with my old VHS-Recorder and now copied it to DVD with a Pioneer VHS-HDD-DVD-Recorder-Combination. So the Quality had to be reduced to SP instead of XP, just because of 6 Minutes. So it is not the best quality possible, but still very good. Have to mention that my old VHS-Recorder from back in 1993 was one of the first Stereo-Recorders i had, so i don't know also the correct Audio-Format, maybe it is in mono! On the DVD-Cover you can see that i added a bonus to the DVD, an old TV-Interview from German Television RTL in 1993 - shortly before Brians Germany-Concerts in the same year. Would love to share this here, but i'm not sure how to get it from the DVD lossless (ok, it's lossy already, but you know what i mean). Or if someone has this Show in better Quality i would be glad if you can put it online or show me if it has been already shared here! So, for now the Cover: |
Manuel Benes 14.02.2009 09:06 |
Seems that there is a mix-up again with one of my covers - the Brian May in moscow 1998 cover is not online, instead another wrong cover - try to upload it again: Brian May live in Moscow 1998 DVD Cover by me in a simple "Planet Terror"-Style - not the best, made this just for fun! |
Manuel Benes 14.02.2009 09:10 |
Another one i "made" - This is the Cover for a self made 2-disc set of live in Rio. The original Artwork is by rhapsody8 - pimped by me, just a little bit (fireworks erased, disc two added, bigger Queen-logo on spine, deleted info on bottom, added running time for disc two). You can use this one if you downloaded the lost footage on jamtothis and like me, added it to your copy of Live in Rio! Hope you like it, thanks rhapsody8 for the great cover! |
queenside 14.02.2009 09:14 |
thanks |
Manuel Benes 14.02.2009 09:17 |
Now some cover for "official" material transferred to DVD! The DVD's are not available here, but i think many of us have transferred their old VHS tapes to DVD - like me. And so some Covers will be needed. Of course i worked as close to the original VHS-Cover as possible - scanned the Covers, made them fit on a DVD Cover and added some DVD-Infos! The first one for the "Queen Rocks" Compilation! PLEASE! IF YOU USE THIS COVERS, DON'T SELL YOU'R DVD's - OFFICIAL MATERIAL - FOR HOME USE ONLY! |
Manuel Benes 14.02.2009 09:20 |

Would you be able to design a cover for the Double Sao Paulo Dvd from Snow Prods thats about please if you get bored again lol [img=/images/smiley/msn/teeth_smile.gif][/img] |
dbruce 14.02.2009 12:14 |
These covers are amazing. Very impressed - Gave a copy of EC77 to a guy at work yesterday and he thought it had been officially released and he didn't realise! One thing I'll point out, just from a perfectionist's point of view - there's a typo in GOFLB on the EC77 sleeve. Keep up the great work! |

I find it really interesting to see my covers all over the world. A friend of mine from the austrian fanclub got a copy of the kampuchea-show from another friend, and this one got it from someone he knows from great britain - and it was my cover they used. I'm glad noone took money for the dvd-copies. And thanks for the hint about the EC77 cover, missed that mistake! Will correct it as soon as i get my external harddrive back - maybe later this evening. Ha, will be the 4th or 5th version of this cover! |
Manuel Benes 15.02.2009 11:07 |
So - the "again" corrected Cover for the Earls Court 77 DVD - remasterd by Pittrek! Hope the work on this one is now finished ;-) |

Hitman 27.02.2009 20:20 |
thank you! i loved in particulary the cover for the Al Murray show. Is there a chance to have a comprehensive dvd with the footage of the 4th april AND, as a bonus, the snippet taken from the O2 in october when AL Murray was jumping on stage?(that he proudly showed on his show) that could be a more complete dvd i guess... unfortunately i can't do it on my own...so i just give the idea to the friends of the board! :) thank you! |
Manuel Benes 28.02.2009 02:13 |
First sorry for my blank post - my computer thought it was funny to play some tricks and he was really serious about it as he blacked out during posting my message! And i would love to see a "complete" Al Murray-DVD, can't make it too - leave this to the experts here. But i would try to redo the Cover if someone posted the DVD here - but until that, i will try to do some new covers. |
Manuel Benes 28.02.2009 02:22 |
And i have to re-upload another cover from my selection, the Munich "Music Box" Cover seems to be replaced with another cover again, for the second time!! So, here is my cover - again - and again - for the Music Box DVD feat. Thomas Gottschalk. Parts of the Cover are in German - typed of the Credits of the Broadcast. Viel Spaß damit! Manuel |
