The cover in itself is superb, and the sticker didn't ruin it at all. It matched the picture in a beautiful way.
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!

lungfish · 03.30.2008, 05:49 PM

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.

Rob Instigator · 03.31.2008, 02:32 PM

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

Danny · 07.02.2009, 08:15 PM

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