Eilydd Na Ddefnyddiwyd / Sub Not Used

Inside the image.

A square record sleeve combines a narrow white text band at the top and bottom with a dark, grainy colour photograph between them. The photograph is a tightly cropped group portrait of three people leaning close together. At left, a face is partly cut off by the frame; the person wears dark glasses and a thick, mottled brown garment or fur-like collar. In the centre, a dark-haired figure in dark glasses bends forward, their face largely in shadow. At right, a third figure is turned down and inward, with a bright yellow-white area of clothing or a light-coloured garment catching the light. The figures overlap and fill nearly all the photographic area, leaving a deep black background behind their heads and shoulders.

The image is dominated by black, olive green, and muddy brown, sharply interrupted by yellow and cream highlights on the faces and clothing. The lighting is uneven and high-contrast: some features emerge in luminous yellow-green patches while much of the central figure and background sinks into shadow. The photograph has a soft, coarse appearance, with the outlines and details blurred in places. A thin dark rule separates the photograph from the white bands. In the top band, bold black lettering is centred across two lines: “JARMAN/CYNGANEDDWYR” above “SUB NOT USED”. A small black-and-white emblem or mark sits at the far left, while “RECORDIAU” and “SAIN” appear at the far right. The lower band has “RECORDIAU” above “SAIN” at left, a large centred two-line inscription reading “EILYDD NA DDEFNYDDIWYD” and “POETS/JARMAN”, and a small green square image at the far right with “BAND” above it. The typography is condensed, heavy uppercase sans serif, contrasting with the blurred, crowded photograph.
