No Binding. Condition: Very Good. Record sleeve artwork; a painting titled Snakecharmer & Reclining Octopus by Barney Bubbles (British 1942-1983) (credited to "Sal Forlenza"), is a pastiche of Pablo Picasso's Three Musicians (1921). 12.5 x 12.5 in. VERY GOOD condition frameable record cover. Costello was taken aback upon seeing the painting for the first time, believing Bubbles had responded to "the more violent and carnal aspects of the songs". The painting depicts a resting woman with laced hands surrounded by zipper-like creatures which spell out "Pablo Si" sitting next to ringmaster-type figure, wearing what Costello interpreted as a tricorn hat. In his book Let Them All Talk, Hinton describes the picture as "a violent exercise in harsh red and blues". The cover won the Creem readers' poll for the best album cover of 1982.[40] The original LP's inner sleeve boasted photographs by David Bailey of the entire band in black-and-white. The one of Costello, in which he glares into the camera with his chin resting on his fist, was used as the sleeve photo for the "Man Out of Time" single.

First Edition
First edition of Griffin's first photobook, produced with designer Barney Bubbles, known for his work at New Musical Express, Oz, and across the UK music scene of the 1970s. After graduating in 1972 from Manchester College of Art and Design, Griffin began working with the art director of Management Today, Roland Schenk. Schenk encouraged Griffin's sensibilities, incorporating theatrical and filmic elements into his commercial photography; the resulting style later influenced the visual language of commercial photography. Copyright 1978 includes a number of photographs produced for Management Today alongside work produced for other clients, including one made during a session for Devo's Be Stiff album cover. Barney Bubbles, a designer that caught Griffin's attention through work published in NME, designed this photobook. Griffin asked Bubbles to interpret each photograph into a simple diagram, printed on the same page or opposite as the photographs they represented, allowing for the composition of the photographs to extend past their borders. The duo continued to collaborate on commercial projects and artist publications for years. Offset. Saddle stapled in illustrated wraps. 8 1/4 x 11 3/4 in. [32] pp. Very good; minor bumps and creases to wraps, inside clean and tight.
