BELLA DONNA ORIGINAL ALBUM COVER (thank yous/notes).....

It's this one.

Actually, I always thought it was the more profile-y shot and her hand was further down the mic. WAY back in the beginning days of ebay, I saw an LP w/ that shot go for like $100. Always wondered if it was a test pressing. I mean people make fakes all the time, but ebay was so new, market was so scarce, why bother making a fool copy, and also if that were the case I'd have seen atleast ONE by now at a record show or something (right???). ALWAYS wondered.

In 1991, that was the photo (or one like it) on the test pressing LP talked about in the Stevie fanzine, Silver Springs. I totally forgot until I saw that photo above.

Way before eBay...

That picture was published in the Dutch Hitkrant in 1978, why would they've considerd it for the album cover, it makes no sense to use a live photo that is a couple of years old and was published before?

Yeah, thats the picture from the SS fanzine. Thanks for whomever posted it. Sorry , theres been other fanzines so I didn't recall which one. Of course the Blue Lamp pics are still my favorite but who knows how many outtakes from BD that were taken that probably would've been beautiful as the LP cover too. Its a shame that we can't see them. Same with all the outtake songs too.
