As far as Shanghai's "Take Another Bite" cover is concerned,
The original was only put out in Japan, and
any good old American perv would've liked that cover, to say the least.
A hot lingerie model, handcuffs, thong panties. Why did Kivel replace that one? :-)
Bad-Velocity-Impact on MTM. Sebastian Kozak couldn't understand
why MTM went with the art that they did. The MTM version's artist ran a photo of
Velocity through a photoshop filter which took about 30 seconds
to process. The Japan version used Sebastian Kozak's work (he is from
the UK but calls his work American Images-he did Crown of Thorns,
Casanova, Horakane, Hugo, Ten, Vinny Burns, etc.)
and it looks somewhat like Dokken's "Back for the Attack"
Good-most of Dokken's albums, but their logo and first album
was killer. Most graphic artists don't do the eighties heavy metal
logo style much anymore.
