perhaps my favorite record album cover i've ever owned. early releases by the band were designed by the same guy, pete watson, for several years. his work was hit-and-miss, but when he hit, he hit well.
on listen
, watson captured the seagulls' sci-fi theme better than their music did at this point, with what appears to be simply a plastic mannequin face and some circuit boards. and though the fashion magazine typography was trending out by now, it still worked here.the band portraits for the back cover aren't bad, either, and in fact have become pretty much the remaining go-to images for the band.
