If you look at the back cover of this album, it's the same picture in black & white, except there's a naked body (probably supposed to be dead) lying in the grass in front of the band.

Not on the version I have. I know there is on the cd reissue but I've a vinyl version on Industrial Records/Mute from 1983. The back cover is the tracklisting and lyrics and a picture of a jeep. I think the body ruins the artwork, makes it too obvious. Although Throbbing Gristle generally are over the top.

I remember when I was like 14 and used to listen to that album and look at the cover and see all the different things I could make out.

Shame about the music on it though! One of the most over-rated bands of all time!

No points for originality, but anyway:

Quite cool.

Apparently the Clash album cover was kinda based on the first Elvis album.
Read abvout it here ---> The Clash by Gene Hyde

They often paid homage to American music, tributes that ranged from their version of the Bobby Fuller Four's "I Fought the Law" to the cover art of London Calling, with a design lifted directly from the cover of Elvis Presley's first album

Have a look ---> Sorry about the size of the pic. but I think it's kinda cool too!
