 This is special; an early album from one of the greatest rock bands to ever draw breath that was released under a couple of different album titles and with no less than five different covers. The one we have chosen for Week 60 of our Album Cover Of The Week feature is the German cover, therefore assuring all of high quality product. In Slugfest week we present the favourite band of the event's mainman Darrel Sutton.....

Week 2 of Über Röck's now fabled Album Cover Of The Week feature saw the artwork of a legendary Welsh band make the work of Tracey Emin look like a pile of dirty sheets. Could another Welsh metal band ever hope to scale such artistic heights? We think so.....
