Virgil And Dante Looking At The Spider Woman
- Engraving by Gustave Doré

Coverart

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 - Testpressing with sticker on front cover
Don't Turn On The Lights - Testpressing with
stickers inside the gatefold sleeve
Don't Turn On The Lights - Testpressing with sticker on back cover


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

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.
