Brotherhood reissue artwork

So am I to assume that the "new & improved" Brotherhood album cover is "here to stay"? Who made such a lousy decision, anyway?

I have those rare metallic cover versions in my collection - both metallic covers on vinyl & CD as well and yes, they do look great but I definitely look forward to seeing the remastered cover (with shiny metallic background...wishful thinking??) on vinyl.

Ditto. The less said about the audio contents (track listing) the better.... but I must say I think the "updated" Brotherhood artwork is quite an improvement. It's just a different photograph of the metal sheet, isn't it? I assume PC&L uses a new photo of the painting, too?

I assume it was Saville's decision? IMHO they should have gone all the way and done the same with "Low-life" - they could have used the superior photos from the Fact100c boxed cassette edition. But each to their own...

I'm of the same opinion, that the original (cropped) Brotherhood cd booklet didn't really do the artwork justice.
