HARDCORE HORROR – slap a ghoul on the cover and call it a day

Here is a really minty looking 2nd press NA 7″. It’s not a steal but if you are a punk rock lawyer or a man-whore you can drop $200 on this like I drop $1.59 on grilled stuffed burritos at Taco Bell.

I wanted to take a minute to talk about record covers. There are a few different styles punk/hc bands seem to follow. The live shot, the “crew shot”, original art (usually from one of like six artists), the typically lame posed shot, and the experimental abstract cover that usually accompanies a band’s latter attempt at blending genres.

Shark Attack (Zombie from Lucio Fulci’s unofficial sequel Zombie 2)
Knife Fight (Wolfman)
Barfight (Frankenstein’s Monster)
