That album cover is so much better!!

Better than the dog thats for sure but they have so many nice outtakes a color photo outtake would've been better. Oh well it is what is it is. Thanks for sharing. I'd still want to get it sometime though.:shrug::D

Jimi Hendrix, Tom Petty and More Classic Rockers Highlight Record Store Day 2016
By Michael Gallucci March 8, 2016 3:33 PM


Dozens of classic-rock releases are on tap this year for Record Store Day next month, including albums, EPs and singles by Tom Petty, Jimi Hendrix, Cheap Trick and David Bowie.

The full list of records available at the day-long event on April 16 was revealed today, and while the releases span genres (country, pop and hip-hop are all represented) and formats (10″ EPs, 12″ picture discs), there’s plenty of classic-rock albums spread throughout the three main categories: exclusives, limited releases and firsts.

Among the releases are Hendrix’s 1969 Smash Hits compilation, featuring alternate cover art; a single featuring two brand-new songs by Mudcrutch, Petty’s side band, which will release a new LP later this year; a complete version of Cheap Trick’s famous Budokan concert; and three separate Bowie items, including I Dig Everything – The Pye Years 1966, which includes some of his earliest recordings.

Other classic-rock faves like the Doors (Live at the Aquarius: The First Performance ), Fleetwood Mac, ([Alternative] Tusk), Creedence Clearwater Revival (1969 Box Set) and Metallica, whose Liberté, Egalité, Fraternité, Metallica! – Live at Le Bataclan. Paris, France – June 11th, 2003 was previously announced. The metal giants are also Record Store Day’s official ambassadors this year.

Yes, this would have made a really great cover for the original album. It's much more in keeping with the Mac brand (if thats the right term) whilst still being a bit 'left field'.

Now if they would just release the 5.1 DVD audio by itself!

Agreed. It's upside down.. which is different than Rumours... I love this album cover..

Record store.What the heck is that.Only kidding.

Now the CD shops are going away because of Itunes.

I love that cover.I'm glad the LPs are coming back.I always enjoy looking at the artwork and reading the liner notes without a magnifying glass like I use looking at CD's.

No way. I much prefer the original album cover. The original album cover is the wrapping paper of songs that were non-traditional in rock and pop coming after the most successful album in history. It holds up after time too. Those cheezy ceiling effects were ground breaking in 1979 but not today. Now another Tusk photo shoot like the one of the TUSK poster would be another story.

I get your point about the cheesy effect of the pic, but at least potential buyers can see pictures of the band, not some stupid picture of some dog biting some man's foot.

I rather see all 5 on cover then the dog.If it was a black cat .I would love it.LOL.They could of flown their photogs out to the jungle and take beautiful scenery shots of elephants with long tusks

BTW .Whos dog was that.I forgot.

That pix is OK but I would like to see others from that shoot.

But don't you agree the entire album was a rebel yell
the music
the anti music industry establishment
the double album
the artwork
the freaking name of the album LOL

With all these rebel qualities the album cover pretty much fits IMHO :) It adds mystery to the entire album. Who is this? Pick it up and take a look. A dog biting a foot is so rebel yell and is so fitting. The irony of Lindsey pulling the group towards a new direction.
Its aggressive
Its eye catching
And sums up the energy of the album

:lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

This really made me laugh..

Sure it was Ken's dog...Scooter???

Thanks.....

I believe it was.

How can anyone discuss the raw beauty of the original album cover. It's perfection. Form is content.

I would also add the context of the photo is relevant too. The album almost appears to be a punk rock album cover. The photo of the dog is an actual photo that only takes up a fraction of the cover. Most of the cover is blank except for the lower right corner a polaroid photo of a dog biting or pulling a man's leg. The photo almost appears an afterthought since the photo was not used to cover the entire album. The photo appears to just be laying on top of the album. Simple yet edgy effect.
No one would ever have guessed this was the super group Fleetwood Mac. "You mean this is the band with the beautiful Stevie?" I don't see her anywhere on the cover or back??"
In Mick's first book he writes about the Tusk name and album cover. The band ended up yielding to Mr. Buckingham once again.

I stopped at the music store at the local mall today to see if they have any FM vinyl there.They did not have Tusk and Live there but they have the green 1988 Greatest Hits there for $24.99 and a copy of Rumours for a kings ransom of $29.99 there.Holy crap.With all of dozens of copies of the original Rumours vinyl.I can set up a popup shop outside and make a killing for $18.99.I wonder what was the print quality of the liner notes inside.

CHEAP TRICK LIVE

oh holy hell
and TUSK

what a time to be alive :lol:
