Week 25 of Album Cover Of The Week is special....

albumthumbWeek 22 of Über Röck's cultured Album Cover Of The Week feature and this time we pay homage to one of the greatest bands of the 1980s whose timeless album cover art perfectly summed up their gift to us mere metal-loving mortals. This week's cover is positively pregnant with awesomeness. It will excite some, it will horrify others. The battle between light and shade is a constant for balding rock singers.......

albumthumbLet's not beat around the bush, bruthas and sistas - if I return from this week's Hard Rock Hell IV festival without either a t-shirt bearing the iconic cover art that awaits you with just the click of a mouse or a tattoo of the seminal beast featured inked onto my fat arse then there is not any justice in the world........

albumthumbHard to believe, but we had an email from a lady in Scotland saying that she has printed out every single one of our album covers of the week and has decorated her entire bathroom with them. She spends a lot of time in there crying since her husband Keith run off with the barber and the likes of Dokken, Preyer and Marcie Free have given her a reason to carry on living. She has a space next to the cold water tap that I hope she can fill with this classic cover art......
