Coverart

• The front coverart is a look-alike of the Body And Soul 12" single.

Arrangement, colours and font are very similar to the original release.

The front coverart varies only with regard to the picture.

However, the picture of the present item - like the one that was used for the Body And Soul coverart -

is based on an engraving by Gustave Doré for Dante's Inferno.

The picture here is a detail from the illustration "Virgil And Dante Looking At The Spider Woman".

Back Cover Notes

• "MADE FOR FANS NOT FOR MONEY", "Cover made by REPTILE",

"p&c 2016" and the numbering "Limited ... /50".

• Band/Line-up

Voice: Andrew Eldritch

Bass: Craig Adams

Guitar: Gary Marx, Wayne Hussey

Drums: Doktor Avalanche

• Further more, there is an image in the left, lower area of the cover back.

It is hardly recognisable, as it is blurred and bleached, but it seems

to show the head of a dead person lying on the ground.

Don't Turn On The Lights - Overview

Test Pressing

The test pressing is characterized by a different vinyl colour and especially a more elaborated cover.

Don't Turn On The Lights - Test pressing with sticker on front cover

Don't Turn On The Lights - Test pressing with stickers inside the gatefold sleeve

Don't Turn On The Lights - Test pressing with sticker on back cover

Don't Turn On The Lights - 4 stickers of the test pressing

Remarks

• Only 5 copies were made.

• Pressed on transparent vinyl without labels.

The alphabetical lettering of the record side is written directly on the vinyl.

• The cover consists of a generic black gatefold sleeve with four printed stickers to be fitted to the cover sides.

• One sticker is nearly identical to the cover back of the final release,

skipping the the "MADE FOR FANS NOT FOR MONEY" and the "Cover made by REPTILE" logo.

• Another one is like the front cover of the final release held in purple colour.

• The other two are similar to the latter one varying the colour and the illustration:

One shows a detail from the illustration "Dante Addresses Traitor Bocca Degli Abati" in green and

the other "Brunetto Latini accosts Dante" in blue.

These are also engravings by Gustave Doré for Dante's Inferno

• The cover is handnumbered .../ 5 in a black colour.
