Using Scribus to re-produce the 'Palindrome' artwork - Part I

As everyone knows, I am a great proponent of open source software and wherever possible I use it for whatever I need to do on a computer. Now, one thing particularly thin on the ground is DTP software. The only one I know of is Scribus. I have been using it for a while and it is very good but up until version 1.3.5.1, it wasn't able to handle bleeds and printer marks etc. All these things are essential for professional output that can be used by a print house.

Instruments used to make 'Too Many Goodbyes'

For the curious, here are some of the instruments we used to make the "Too Many Goodbyes" CD

Guitars / Amps / Effects

• Fender USA Standard Stratocaster, 1987 vintage - my pride and joy. I had mine specially ordered in from America. I have had it slightly modifed it by putting in a few extra springs to flatten the tremolo fulchrum to the guitar body - I don't and never have used the "whammy bar".
• Fender Precision Bass - can't remember when I bought this (to replace an old Yamaha bass). Anyway, it's a beaut!
• Ovation Pinnacle Single Cutaway Electro-Acoustic Guitar. I was bought this many, many years ago as a birthday present. I remember seeing Al Di Meola playing an Ovation guitar and had to have one!
