Decided to have a root through my CD collection and pull out five of what I consider to be the best album covers in the World... Ever.
Black Grape - Great when you're straight...yeah.
Featuring a yellow faced newly captured Carlos the Jackel, and the above statement on his RayBans (paying homage to Shaun Ryder's new clean drug free image) this album is as striking in look as it is in sound. Musically the best thing Ryder has created, claiming it should have been what the defunct Happy Mondays ill fated 'Yes Please' should have been like. Of course the crack cocaine binge in Barbados couldn't have helped the Mondays cause. Featuring a dig at the Catholic church turning a blind eye to Nazi attrocities (Rev. Black Grape), a drug fuelled house party (Tramazi Parti) and Ryder's disappointment of meeting his idols (Kelly's Heroes). Best track - Tramazi Parti.
