Album Artwork

The famous sleeve collage of the iron-headed woman was created by Linder Sterling who explained; "Well, the iron came from an Argos catalogue and the female torso came from a photographic magazine called Photo. I never cleared the copyright but no one noticed, so it was alright."[1]

The image was originally in colour, but Buzzcocks' sleeve designer Malcom Garrett thought it would be best to change it to a blue monotone.

Linder later added; "It was made in a Salford bedroom, I had a sheet of glass, a scalpel and piles of women's mags."[2]
