the real thing? i can hardly imagine booth & brown or rdj considering the
uk releases of their material to be the "real" ones because of differences
in artwork or date of release...and here's my modest approximation of the
delegation of time put in by the artists towards the different
components of the album: music 98% artwork 2%. Which one do you think
they'd like you to pay the most attention to? Artwork isn't worthless or
pointless, but in reality it's just the thin candy shell around something
infinitely more complex.
