i just wondering:is possible that the cover art of music for the jilted generation is inspired to the character of freddy kruger face?i'm just curious,what do you think about it?

the booklet of the album says that its a photograph by Stuart Heygarth. i think its a photo of a sculpture and i dont think it's got anything wit freddy kruger

oh,i didn't noticed his name in the boolet,by the way thanx for info.

It represents the angst of the yout when the parties were being closed down by the authorities, possibly inspired by Munch's "The Scream" (just my opinion)

my girlfriend is a sculptor and she says that it could be a plaster mask. plaster is applied to someone's face, and when it dries you airbrush it

ye i think it too,this could be the main reason.

Han Solo

I knew someone would post that, I was tempted myself

the original one

wow where did you get it? what's it called? it looks sick
so its bronze not plaster but it is a sculpture

heard XL even made these bad boys for the fans back in day but obviously not as good as the original

There was some plastic sculpture things like it on ebay once. But they were squared like the cover and had a strange color

I saw the real one they used for the cover photoshoot once, in Forbidden Planet (a scifi collector/toy shop) in London about 10 years ago. (No, it wasn't for sale..!).
It's smaller than you'd think, only about 8 inches square and looks a lot worse in real life, you could see rough marks all over it where it'd been drybrushed with silver paint. I still wish I'd had my camera with me then...

The square ones sOren's talking about are made of vacuum formed plastic and were displayed in record shops on the walls. You occasionally see them on eBay, and they sell for about £30-40. They're printed with a carbon fibre effect to make the surface look silvery.

How do you know it was the original one?

And do you think it would be still in the shop right now? I am in London next week, would be good to see it.

so no one knows who the original artist was?
