100% re-worked cover-artwork by Philippe Dupont-Mouchet (from ABBAinter.net) with many "errors" fixed (ex. "Voulez-Vous" pyramid structure) + with larger & clearer photos :

I'm not savvy on doing reissue covers, haha, but this is what it would have looked like if ABBA took Japan like a big deal like the USA and UK was in 1975, in the same album, but in its different album cover  |

Italian artwork + New photo + Australian record label thingamajig + new text = this – this is a special case where two wrongs make it a right in my opinion 
(obviously fake) |

(Yes, it's supposed to be a CD/vinyl cover) A faithful replication of a blank recording tape media in art direction... this is what could possibly happen if Benny and Björn were upgraded to the latest software available – get all of the unreleased outtakes out and show us the imperfection. ABBA: The Tapes, as a continuing pattern between ALBUM - MOVIE - TAPES. |

Why not!!!   Is there anything wrong with this one? It doesn't look 100% to me. |

 Let's be historically accurate with the Fernando single sleeve... |

What the hell's happening? BBC and Polar Music partnered up, but didn't merge, so that Benny can use monster sounds in the lead single (not what David Bowie, songwriter of Liv På Mars (Life on Mars), had in mind... it's about a belief of life existence in Mars, based on modern day human social programming and tons of old movies, from a broody mind of a narrator, not a dream sequence in space, lol) But since Stig Anderson licensed Polar Music's catalogues to several record companies like Atlantic and Vogue, "Auntie Beeb and Uncle Polar" never came to fruition in this universe, fortunately. |

If BAAB (ABBA if you want to be familiar) had a German live recording back in 72... What if band names on album art are honest? (excluding the fact that the photo was at Malmö) |

In case if the Japanese record industry pleads to have a slightly creative art direction of the album cover... |

  (FAN MADE, obviously)
My take on the single art is like as if it is being a complete departure from the typical, realistic observation that is a commonplace in Super Trouper and the Visitors.. It is a quite imaginative, (not so) vivid, inspired by other albums (blatantly) and somewhat sentimental take on the maturity of ABBA. Also, no Polar logo is here as the record industry focuses more on the band, as it seems. |

Made this cover! What do you think? It's great!!! It's like a reverse of the Does Your Mother Know cover. I find that overlaying the ABBA logo is difficult quality-wise. Does anyone else find it hard aswell? |

Made this cover! What do you think? A bit off centered in the Dreamworld text (unless it's passing for a mispress design...), but very interesting and subtle design.  (insert clap emoji here) |
