An nobody on /mu/ has the guts to post the original front covers of Blind Faith, Virgin Killers, or Witchfinder General.

>>66223404
When I first heard this album, I was initially disappointed because the front and back covers lead me to believe that this was a live concert album, but thankfully Search and Destroy is such a good song, and is the first song on the album that I liked it on the second listen.

This cover has always given me the heebie jeebies. Did acid during the middle of summer back in 2009 and at one point I looked into my bathroom mirror and my face started growing hair and im retrospect I looked remarkably similar to the cover of The Seer, it ended up being a horrible trip too. It's just unsettling for me to look at now to be honest. Fantastic album though.

I think there was a viral marketing thing where the cover art was spray painted on the ground in random places around the time of the release. The day he died I went out for a walk through my university's campus and happened to come across it. It got me really emotional, not gonna lie.
