It looks fine as a tour date poster, just really odd for a front cover.

I've heard that it is the actual cover of the album. It would make sense too as the two teenagers are featured on all the tour ads so it would stand to reason that they were on the album cover.

The plot thickens...

My promo CD of 'Underdogs' has a small part of the two girls photo on it, and at the very bottom of the CD there's an interesting credit:

Photography (c) Valerie Phillips. Taken from the book 'Monika Monster Future First Woman On Mars.

A little Googling later reveals Amazon seem to know it exists ( http://www.amazon.co.uk/Monika-Monst...3705533&sr=8-1 ) and that it appears to be some sort of photo book about a 22 year old Polish New Yorker who is going for a night out ( http://www.foto8.com/ccp51/cgi-bin/c...s_selpublished ). The book itself seems to have been self published.

You may begin speculating now.

Speculating about what exactly? Conspiracy theories?

thank you for this. hmmm.. that's interesting.
I wonder Vallerie Phillips took a picture of that cover for Manics or Manics just used her photo.
yeah, they said 'Taken from the book...' there, though.

Thank you for that, Lone Architect, it's interesting to know. And it may explain why no-one could agree on which bridge it is in the photo, if the photo was taken in New York!

I wonder how many people are going to go and buy the book now?

Does anyone know where this image came from? I'd really like this to be the official artwork, cos it's just so damn cool.

Ash.

It's from the promo cd for the album. It's liklely to be the album cover, as speculated in one of the other Tigers threads.
