My favourite artwork of all time.

Always liked the symbolic references within the illustrations.

Good album and some freaky artwork, what a combination.

Script is one of my favourite albums of all time, but I prefer the artwork for Fugazi.

I bought this album in 1987 after a mate told me about the airbrushed artwork on the cover. It was 6 months before I even got round to playing it.
I had never heard of GnR back then they were just another rock band to add to my record collection. ::):

The Robot Rape scene depicted caused a stink and it was promptly banned! The new artwork is well shite in comparison to the original masterpiece.

Last known where abouts of my copy it was in the hands of Bex Bissel!

You still got it Bex or did take it to cash converters ? ::):

Bloody indian giver, thats your inheritance that is.

The fella in CC said nobody wants lps nowadays, it's been sealed and put in the loft next to the ltd edition Joy Division "still" lp however it would have been worth considerably more if the sticker pack had still been intact and not stuck on the side a guitar case. ::):

Do you want that Fairground Attraction lp that you so lovingly gave me for Xmas one year, after buying it for yourself then giving it to me as a "revenge" xmas gift, I think I've still got it in its wrapping paper.

My Kitten, I have The the's Infected & Soul Mining Lp's signed by Matt Johnson and Mind Bomb signed by Matt J and Johnny Marr. woooo!
Someone I know has her own catering unit and had the gig for feeding them on their Uk tour, she got me backstage passes when they played the Barrowland years ago.

I picked up this album (vinyl of course) on friday simply on the strength of the cover.

You just cant look at that cover without cracking a smile. Life must have been so much simpler as an album cover designer in those pre-postmodern days before concepts like 'irony' and 'cliche' or 'spinal tap' were widely understood.

This album cover purely for it's genius use of a still saw blade.

And this one because the design is so simple and effective, it's a ltd edition in its own right and the cover only adds to it by giving the impression that its a white lable lp, and perhaps only just recently thrown together with the track listing and possible future album cover art work attached.

always liked this yin, used to scare me as a boy. I grew up bought it and loved it!!

by **Pripyat** » Tue Mar 14, 2006 2:09 am

In my own opinion probably the finest artwork collection associated with
the artist. Always loved the artwork :twisted:
