Or this nightmare?


Or perhaps this, which is the nadir of eighties euro garbage, and probably has the worst lyrics ever put to record?:

The missing link between Joy Division and the Gang of Four, only arguably better than both, It's 1980, it's on Factory Records, the cover's done by Sleazy out of Throbbing Gristle, how can it fail?






Oh, I think I'll go for the LP with the beautiful black and white spikey cover

I love this cover.

Yeh - it's really good! (especially in stark contrast to Corey)

Inspired by the excellentness of this sleeve I'm listening to the LP this morning and it's not as "Hey Nonny Fuck No" as I'd thought a solo LP by one of the ISB would be.

Isn't it intentionally bad?

Looks like those shit original Relentless cans. Grave! Grave!

How is this excellent? It's tacky and they've exclamation-ised Heron's name.

Pauline Walnuts

It's funny.

It's got a great name, "Smiling men with Bad Reputations" Majestic.

If you've got the inclination you could say it's a damming indictment of colonialism, where the bad man is bribing the locals with their own product, the pineapple. Or something.

They're saying his name with excitement, but thinking he's a man with mad reputation. With a cheery smile on his face. It does what it say on the tin.



Maybe I should get my copy out and listen to it again.

I love me some Florence and consider this a sacreligious statement, but:



The new Lungs 10th anniversary box LP cover is shit. Just shit. I like the use of an alternate angle of the original cover but... why the massive pink zoom-out? The box isn't that big, and it's not a "hidden cover" sort of deal where you pull off the sleeve. This is a standard double-LP gatefold inside the box.

How do you deal with being tone deaf?

I just stick a drumstick in my ear at varying angles until I can hear the beat of Russ Abbot's seminal 'Atmosphere' and it makes everything tolerable.

Shocking cover for a shocking single. Destined to be played during the desolate aunt/young nephew dances at a shit south coast wedding.

^thats an amazing shout. The absolute state of that.

The album sleeve itself is destined to induce nightmares if the single didn't already drive you to the edge of Beachy Head:

When the 'shrooms don't level out and keep marching into a terrifying smeared nightmare.
