Bella Donna - Should Stevie have flipped the artwork?

[Dodfather]

Hi guys,

I'm just listening to my copy of the new Sheryl Crow record and I immediately thought that the picture on the back cover is far better than the one she chose for the front! It's a really nice picture of her that i think sums up the positive mood of the album...

Anyway, this reminded me that I always meant to post a similar thought on here about Bella Donna. I've always loved the image on the back with Stevie looking through the tambourine (especially when seen in full sized glory on vinyl) but never been too keen on the front cover. It's a great shot, whereas I'm just not too keen on the cover one. Does anyone else think the back image should have been on the front and vice-versa?

I really think it works better as a cover shot, with Stevie gazing at us and inviting us "in" to the album, as shows by the "come in.. out of the darkness" text that goes alongside it. So I get why those two things are placed together but I stull think it would have been great if that image was on the front, with the "come in..." text on the back alongside what became the front cover.

Anyone agree or have I just offended you all?!
