PRAY FOR DEATH

The band The Durutti Column's first album had an LP sleeve with the same design, apparently. I'm guessing one inspired the other.

Pretty sure this idea was lifted from Sonic Youth's 2nd idea for the Daydream Nation LP. I think the quote from Thurston Moore is "Since we couldn't afford to call it 'Bookbag' and have it come in a bookbag, we wanted to do a sandpaper type sleeve that would gently caress up all of your other records."
