Vain - All Those Strangers Question?

Hi People
I brought this off ebay over a year ago as an original the CD was printed on and it all looked ok apart from the artwork. It shows a semi nude woman on a beach yet online the pics for this I have seen show the band on the front. Which is correct?

I have only seen the band on the cover, it could be legit though

Maybe you have the original cover but it was deemed too risqu? and re-designed, or maybe the seller had a cd printer and knocked it up himself. Dunno.

Not much help, am I? lol

Well that is what I thought Stace because these covers get released then banned because of the artwork.
TTT do you have the artwork with the band on?

All Those Strangers was never officially released.

So all artwork seen for this is unofficial?

Yeah, its dodgy. No barcode, record co details, no copyright warning even. woohoo! lol

technically yes, unless the cover that was planned for the cd leaked out as well.

"The follow-up album never got a chance, as Island shelved the album after a few cassette promos were released in a management/ownership change, and the band was promptly dropped, killing an momentum they had."

"In ?91 they started work on their second album, "All those strangers". The album was recorded and done and just about to get released when Island records decided to drop the band. The album has never been officially released and has become a much sought after item among tapetraders."
