I second DaN's praise of your niche area of collecting, it's always fascinating to see these vaiations & i salute your keen eye for often very minor details.
Are retitled records also within the scope of your current collecting? For example the s/t Rose Tattoo LP you've pictured above, was retitled 'Rock 'n' Roll Outlaws' for most of it's European releases & had different art.
Of course, if the title is on the cover!
For example ARTCH's "Another Return" / "Another Return tu Church Hill". Or some with spanish titles.
Or Ozzy's "Talk of the Devil" / "Speak of the Devil" wich i do'nt own both.
That Ozzy LP always struck me as a particularly odd & completely unneccesary retitling. Did they think Ozzy fans wouldn't understand the title & boycott buying the album because of that one word's difference?

The "problem" with this thread is that it feels like Thomas has already uploaded ALL the cover variations I could ever think of
...but since posting record pics is so bloody fun I figure I/we shouldn't be afraid to 'repost', just in case
Will get going on that next week.

I made a list of what i know and don't have.
This list contains 91 items!!! So there are enough possibilities to add more pics!

I wish there had been a Swedish release with our equivalent of the saying, “Tala om trollen” (speak of the trolls).

Now i'm aware of that translation i retract my previous statement & hope for a bootleg t-shirt bearing that title.

I just found out the even the Steamhammer pressing is slightly different. It's about of the thickness of the white outlining from the logo.

Amazing update tbieri, lots of variations there i'd never seen before, seems there's still always something new to find out. I only just discovered there were 3 different cover variations for 'Captive Audience' by Weapons for instance, though i've only ever seen the arty photographic one.
