This was a difficult cover to photograph. It's like taking a photo of a mirror. sadly the cover material seems a bit weak, and it had bruised corners and some creases on the back when it arrived in the mail from the UK. This one, I think, was sold only from the band's shop.
The cover spells out the band name name with the conjoined oe (œ) like, Manœuvres. I am not sure if this has opened before. I suppose I should really go have a look.
