SOME INFO ABOUT THIS GREAT COVER
The cover depicted a well dressed man and woman (which vaguely resemble the fictional characters Lucy and Ricky Ricardo) seated in the back of a car, with one of the woman's breasts exposed and connected to the man's hand by stretched bubblegum. The back cover featured the same man and woman, but holding a photograph of the band, and her left breast completely exposed (without the gum). It was created by Storm Thorgerson of the design firm Hipgnosis. It caused some controversy upon the album's release and was subsequently banned, with later pressings of the album bearing a simple design of a blue scorpion on a black background. The album's artwork was named "Best album sleeve of 1979" by Playboy magazine,I PURCHASED THIS ALBUM IN GERMANY WHILE STATIONED THERE!
