I remember preferring the US Fever cover at the time because she looked so beautiful on the photo, however in retrospect the official Fever cover is absolutely iconic.
I don't really like the US Fever cover. It's a great shot but isn't distinctive enough for a cover. The official cover is incredible though.
The official cover is the dictionary definition of iconic, but I get why they went with a different cover for the US. She was -- for the majority of Americans -- an unknown so a more direct image of her face made sense.
Yeah, the whole limited release of all these vinyls is pretty frustrating. I’ve never managed to get any copies of any of them, they go on sale and if you’re not online at that very time they’re gone.
I actually had the album cover as a poster back then, I probably still have it in my attic somewhere.
This has show up on streaming last year. I think this is the second time a rarity has shown up on streaming through these type of compilations - hopefully Sparks will appear someday too.
Yes thou I do remember going into Tower Records (RIP) on Sunset and being surprised at the different cover. Thankfully when I went to NY, my favorite store Rebel Rebel (RIP) had the UK version.
