| A tough one to end on here, but if you've got the album it'll be easy! This album has a very simple cover. It is all black, with a the band's name in the top left corner, apparently faded away so it is only just readable. In the bottom right corner is a faint coiled snake. Recognise it? If you do, then you'll be able to tell me the artisit! | Album Covers

There's also something funny going on with their heads. Which record sleeve is this? | Album Covers
