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
