I always thought it was NYC. Was sure the tops of the twin towers were visable in the lower-right corner. Due to an acrimonious split, I lost my LP version and you just can't tell from the CD, so I could be talking bollocks...


Seriously, if someone were to scan in the 12" cover at like 300 dpi or more and post a .tiff or even .jpg, then some photoshop tomfollery would reveal all...

...and we could go hunting the original source pic, like a few people did with Reptile House EP!

Dan,

Do you happen to know a webpage where the original Reptile source pic can be seen (I only know it's from National Geographic ...)

I had it on my website, but took it down after a while. If you try the wayback archive for http://www.esatclear.ie/~mhiney you should find it. It's probly in the old thread about it too.

OH MY GOD!!! that is amazing. :notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy:
But can you run it through a cheap 80s photostat machine a few times and then purple-ise it???

Cheers!

Just wanted to say thankyou. I've never noticed that.

(The Reptile House thing is now my background too so thanks for that mh !)
