I have it on the CEE DEE format and it comes with a pop up as well

Load records stuff usually comes really nicely packaged, hand printing, nice gatefolds and lyric sheets on newsprint n' tings

 

[Dan]

A White Zombie remix album called Super Sexy Swingin Sounds. Its basically just naked chicks...always a winner

 

[1984]

Jon Spencer Blues Explosion's new one is pretty sweet.

Joan of Arse - Arty bastards

oh and our yet to be released album looks purty.

 

[rothko]

oh oh oh!
lots and lots

Simon Corkin and Pete Fowler's illustration based schtuff for Super Furry Animals ( especially the artwork for Rings )

Check Your Head by Beastie Boys looks cool too, especially the D.R.I. / Anthrax / Sacred Reich type photo collage of all their mates acting the mick, showing off their pets, skateboarding badly, *jammin'*, and hangin' out on the sleeve inside.
Sort of photo collage you spend an hour staring at with a dumb smile on your face....well I do anyways.

OXXXES by The Oxes vinyl for FULL EFFECT y'all.

Roberta Bayleys photograph for the cover of The Ramones "The Ramones" album

At the time I LOVED every piece of artwork and merchandise that Pop Will Eat Itself released...some of it looks dated now I suppose.

Sonic Youths Goo too.

Plus The Warlords of Pez 500 titles album.
Only because I get namechecked on the cover....heh heh.

Ah jaysus there's so much more....

Phat's and Small "Turnaround" looks sexy too.

 

[Rimbaud]

JANES ADDICTION - NOTHING SHOCKING -a classic...

ACID MOTHERS TEMPLE - FREAK OUT ZAPP YOUR MIND!! - cool chicks!

LE SHOK - We Are Electrocution...- see below - cool...

I saw a guy with a t-shirt of those inner sleeve pictures - front and back! He was a mad Mondays fan called Derek from Fairview . I remember he was at the McGonagles gig going apeshit up the front.

or how about The Coup's "Party Music" with a picture of them blowing up the WTC twin towers... released on or just before september 11th... shame I dont have the .jpg handy.

 

[nlgbbbblth]

And what about this classic, "Chicken Rhythms" by Northside.

A shit ablum.
