These covers are my own work, scanned from the CD sleeves of the Luaka Bop box set released in 2014. Some conjecture was involved in removing what I took to be artifacts from my scans. I attempted to be faithful to some balance of the CD jackets and what original copy covers there were to be seen on eBay during the scanning process; they may therefore not be 100% accurate. I expect they'll nonetheless represent a significant upgrade over what's presently available on the internet.


Crashes in Love - Original Release
1977


Crashes in Love - Second Release

Atomic Bomb
