ok people, its kinda stupid but the question is quite simply. i've never though what really is on the front cover of smbu single. it looked fine for me, i though that it can be some monk or even some abstract art. now, after 7 years :oops: of listening the prodigy i realize that on the front cover of smbu is some breakdance dancer. now i see how crap is this cover. what do you think about it?

*Edited to add photo for those who can't remember what it exactly looks like. rsshawn*

Btw. his name is Joel Botschinsky De Andrade, and the picture is from the British brakedance championship - 1996.

I likes it.
Was there not an alternative cover at some stage ? Seem to recall something like this.

Primary on the single cover was supposed to be a picture of Volkswagen Beetle crushed around the street sign, but it was changed because of Princess Diana's death.


:wink:

I usually associate breakdancing with ape music, so the cover design has always seemed irrelevant to the theme of smbu.

I think it looks good. To be honest, the disc looks mad I luv that, but the front is also good.

Yeah for years I didn't even notice it was a breakdancer either! lol I think it's just sort of saying where the song is from (i.e. the Kool Keith sample from Ultramagnetic MCs), as opposed to a song about beating women as the media labelled it. :roll:
