@missygreendaychimp I remember going into a record shop (remember those?) in Irvine, California, called The London Underground, the week The Holy Bible came out.
It was on a rack near the front door; NEW RELEASES!
Hold it up to my gf and say "Ew! This looks terrible!"
Put it back down. (Mistake.)
It wouldn't become one of my favorite cds until about 10 years later.
What if they'd put something more appealing on the cover?
Haha, unfortunately I don't remember record shops as such - I was born in the mid 90s so the only record shops I really saw was HMV. I think the album cover is a little off-putting to some, but I can't imagine the album with anything other. Beautifully imperfect.
The greatest band of all time, with the greatest album of all time (The Holy Bible), the greatest written song of all time (Yes), the greatest hit of all time (If You Tolerate This Your Children Will Be Next). Fucking amazing!
Coincidentally, 'Journal for Plague Lovers' was my second love.

What really bugs me about this video is not only JDB's miming a bit shit - but he hasn't got the capo at the third fret. *Manics obsessive alert*

Would I have discovered it much earlier?
