Just noticed GEER is the only studio album that doesn't feature at least one member of the band on it. Incidentally, it's also my favorite. Were they really that ugly?
No band member on the Cut the Crap cover.
Or Black Market Clash
Yeah but that's a compilation album not a studio album.
Fair point 😞
Its a great cover though.
There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

While I am not all that impressed with the contents within, the sleeve for GEER is exceptional.

More controversial statement: LC's cover is seriously over-rated. It's very good but I fail to see what make it classic (yeah yeah, Elvis …).

They truly didn't have any bad album covers.
Sandinista's cover is kinda dull.
Lazy and rushed.

The Combat Rock album cover is pretty bad relative to the others.
Only CtC is worse for me. There were loads of cool Pennie Smith shots from that CR session why they chose that one is beyond me. It's not the setting as that is great but it's just the pose is really naff.

I agree it is a great cover and the Super Black Market Clash version even better.

Despite my defence of CtC, the cover induces a headache.
