This is the original vinyl cover.

Thjis is the cover of the cd my neice brought me from Dublin last year.

This is the cover of the cd I've had for a very long time.

So it looks like the better looking picture went on the LP and the international versions. And the US CD ended up with the blurry looking one.

Anyone remember long boxes? This looked great in a long box.

haha the smooshed head cd cover version..

i don't know why they didn't just go with the regular cover on the cd even if it would have meant making it smaller.

it would look better than a cropped, smooshed and blurry cover.

christ, they even used the regular photo for the cassette.

It did. I remember cutting up the box and hanging the picture up in my bedroom. Long boxes were gone not too long after that.

Oh the days when hanging up a long box was considered decor

The band apparently didn't know that the cd cover was scrunched up until Larry saw it in a record store. Read an interview somewhere where they talk about it....and how he was pissed that the last bit of OTH was stuck onto Exit. I'm surprised neither problem has ever been fixed.

Two more reasons for an uber-remastered edition...

and how he was pissed that the last bit of OTH was stuck onto Exit.

The cd my niece brought me from Dublin has that fixed.

My sister bought me that last year when she saw it in a music store.

No it hasn't. When I bought it in '92 it had the blurry cover. But there wasn't a mistake on the indexing of One Tree Hill and Exit.

The picture being scrunched just takes so much away from it.

In the blurry photo Bono looks like a head from Easter Island
