a b/w print with a stage photo of Andrew Eldritch tendrilled with thorny vines, above that
the band name and below the bootleg title "Demos",



  • The cover back has a column in the second quarter of the format with a similar vine motive
in the top part that is twined around the names of the band members in the following order:
- Craig Adams -
- Andrew Eldritch -
- Wayne Hussey -
- Gary Marx -
 
  • Below this ornament are the track lists of both sides of the vinyl and further information on the release.
The same information can be found on the labels. The latter do, however, also give a catalogue#: 17987.
