For all the madness ... I really like the very first cover. Excellent portrait. Not as whacky as the rest, but more personal ...

Hawkins wanted very much to be taken seriously as a singer, and by the time he recorded this album, had become tired of the whole coffin and skull routine, which probably accounts for the more personal feel of the cover photo.
