The sticker was orange, round, with the Christian Death cross and bones, and a short text saying : "contains the hit"; the hit not being mentioned. I don't have this album any longer so may be wrong about the text.

I dig Cramps covers (a Date with Elvis, Look Mom, Psychedelic Jungle) and Nick Cave's (Tender Prey, From Her).

It's a Liars album or EP.

Honestly don't know how I forgot this one, probably my overall favourite album cover...

I'd buy that record on the strength of the cover. Who is it? Hopefully someone I hate to prove my point.

Yes, that's indeed a superb cover.

I don't know for sure, but the url says it's by UNKLE.

I would say the same reason you find it boring (the Animals cover) is why I find it so lovable. It says mid-60s rock, to me.

A quick Google confirms that you're not wrong. I shan't be picking that record up, as I can't abide that band, but that's some amazing artwork. Well done UNKLE!

and just about every album that came out on Blue Note Records.

Yeah it's from UNKLE's new album War Stories, its an utterly superb album, and a very different sound to any of their previous efforts. It features vocals from Josh Homme, the Duke Spirit and Ian Asturbury from The Cult, which is pretty cool. I beleive the artwork is done by '3-D' from Massive Attack...

I have to say that I find the IN RAINBOWS cover to be boring as all fuck, and that it looks like a band that ran out of ideas for their imagery. BORING

I love outer space.

I'm far from the biggest Morrissey fan, but this is a pretty cool cover.

the gatefold vinyl is sweet in that it has the full Tommy Gun.

Not an album, but goddamn, I love this alternate Spanish cover for this single.
