No Code Polaroid photos (sets C, O, D, E)

comatose_253

I recently acquired a few additional copies of No Code to collect all four sets of Polaroid photos that were included with the original pressing. I always appreciated the music of No Code, but when you combine the music with the unique album cover and individual Polaroid photos you really have a special piece of sound and visual art.

There also seems to be a lot of code in No Code. The Polaroid sets are C, O, D, E. You also have the triangle No Code symbol when you fully unfold the album art. I started to put together the following information about the Polariod photos and the songs they represent.

Anyone else see interesting code in No Code?

What do you mean by unique polaroid?

awang_vedder

thanks for starting this.

i know No Code have 4 series but i didnt exactly whats different. from your picture (flick) i think i have all No Code series but i will check again after arrived at home.

any different based series of polaroid on the cover of digipack?

Kilgore_Trout

so i always wondered... can you piece all the polaroids together from the 4 sets and get a big no code symbol? that'd be a kickass piece of art

hopefully they do something like that if they do a no code reissue... thats one box set i would for sure buy

And Happy Birthday!

The song Hail Hail has 4 Polaroids (1C, 1O, 1D, and 1E). 1C and 1O share the same photo and 1D and 1E share the same photo.

It's my Birthday??

The album cover has all of the photos that are part of the 4 sets plus a lot more. Each Polaroid has a number on the back that ends in either C, O, D, or E. This will let you know which sets you have.

I started asking which set came with the CD and it was pretty easy to collect all four.

where did you buy them? it's out of stock in most places. and the one's that are available don't have the polaroids anymore.

Thanks! I was not sure which the many eyes on the cover might be the infamous Rodman eye, and that the cover might include a chunk of his nose too.

Is this true??????????????

javis el errante

this is what I wanted to know, I asked about it a few weeks ago, but if someone answered, I missed that post...

My CD is C and my vinyl is O, had I known this at the tiem, I would have bought more copies of No Code, at least, on CD...

Given to...

And another quest begins

iamdirtyfrank

I also purchased a further 2 copies towards the end of the year on eBay, just asked the seller what set the photos were before I put a bid in. So I have 4 original copies, one reissue from 2000 (no Polaroids) and a vinyl. Is there really any need to own an album 6 times?


Yes.

Candlemoth

I am beginning my hunt now. I currently have E.

Any members with the remaining as duplicates would be welcome to contact me if you are able to help out and are not asking for me to pay silly prices (like the folk on Amazon)

It's a true!
