Text for album cover:

JA - "Now everyone who hates me is dead!"

Young lad - "I hate you"

Nearly all human life on the planet has been eradicated. Yet that little boy would still play Glastonbury before him.

You should have seen the album cover he wanted to do. It wasn't his hand etc. etc.

My first gig so fond memories.  But it is definitely a dodgy cover

Featuring the plaintive ditty "Another Piece of Meat" if I remember rightly.

Yes. I’m sure that it was an ironic counter-point to “Loving You Sunday Morning”. Or it could be just 70s sexist metal.  Either way it was my first gig and started me off on a lifetime of enjoying live music so can’t be all bad

This one probably qualifies as 'subtle' as far as the Scorpions are concerned. Only just makes the top three of their most problematic covers. (see previous posts).

Both this and Love Drive designed by Storm Thorgersen / Hipgnosis

While we're on the Scorpions, this is very shit indeed:

I have certainly owned them both. I went through a stage of collecting Hipgnosis covers, but ended up with too much sub standard prog rock for my taste...
