The original 12" was released by Factory Benelux. I had to take it out of the protective sleeve for the picture. The cover design by #PeterSaville is a "night-time" version of the Thives Like Us sleeve, using a painting by Giorgio de Chirico.

Plattenseiten) und würde auch hier überhaupt nicht abgebildet, würde seine geckenhafte Rotsträhne nicht so gut zu der Dame oben passen.
