It should be against the law with a minimum of 6 months jail time to change the covers!

 

Yeah, as he got older and weirder he wanted all signs of his blackness erased......

 

It sounds nice.

 

The bottom one looks like something that would be on a 12 year old girls wall. I like the original above it better.

 

It is! They did a fine job. The slip case works perfectly distinguishing this from the original but still having the original album cover.

Agape's Gospel Hard Rock and Victims of Tradition were originally released with these album covers:

I actually like the general styling of the Deluxe, despite the changes to the artwork. The gold foil on the cover and cloth spine looks great, the inside cover design is very tasteful (is that a moon by his initials?), the back of the vellum enveloped book has a star field above his initials, even the CD pouches have excellent artwork including stars on the inside.

I take it all back - I love this thing!

I like them both.
