Unpopular opinion: LC ist brilliant but owes a lot to its atmospheric production which is why I dont really care about live versions.

Really marginal LC opinion: I vastly prefer the single sleeve to the album one. (I've got it on a shirt, too.)

Me too. I think the so called iconic sleeve is overrated. Take away the Elvis graphics and it ain't much.

Agree a zillion percent. It's a really cool photo and all but I fail to see any kind of transcendent quality to it all or to the Elvis reference lettering.

Interestingly the best album artwork doesn't feature the band.

I don't know if I have a preference per se but the single artwork is rad as hell. If I get another Clash t-shirt, I'll probably try to to have it be that artwork.

GEER is my favourite album sleeve. Really, that and BMC are the only ones that catch my eye and pique my curiosity.

Every year, I'll send you one shirt, like a Trump steak.

And you've got a long track record of designing quality sleeves, so I'm feeling good about my company!

I suppose I can get behind this, though I like the LC album cover more than you guys. S/T still has the best logo, though.
