The face on the cover is unshaven, the shades are menacing and the bike is Hell’s Angels Italian style. This fiddler is definitely going for baroque.

This is quite an old trick:

There is nothing new about this type of cover, as we see above from the Karajan DG cover photo on a motorcycle. These types of covers actually look like something out of the 1970′s, not like something cool and new. DG and its pop loving new president thinks that this sort of cover will increase its sales and attract a younger consumer. It won’t and it will only chase away the serious buyers who find it both old fashioned and trying too hard! They just don’t understand this at DG. Will they ever?
