Jesus of Cool - Album Cover

Album Cover

The original vinyl album cover features six pictures of Nick Lowe (supposedly), with different pictures appearing on the UK cover to the US one. On both covers, spelled out in small letters on the photos is Pure Pop for Now People. "PURE" was small yellow print in the top left photo, "POP" was small red print in the top middle, "FOR" was small blue print in the top right, "NOW" was small blue print bottom left, "PEO" was small yellow print in the bottom middle and "PLE" was small red print in the bottom right.

The UK version had a photo of three kitsch glass swan ornaments on the back sleeve. However, the US version had a picture of Nick Lowe dressed up in a green Riddler suit; a shot deliberately posed to make him look like Dave Edmunds (since one of the shots of "Lowe" on the front cover is in fact Edmunds). The design of the inner sleeve also differs between the UK and US versions.

Both UK and US sleeves were designed by Barney Bubbles.
