SPECIAL
COLLECTORS' ITEMS
The
album was originally called SILENCE and a sleeve mock-up was made
(see photo).
They then changed the title to STORMBRINGER and a new mock-up
was made but rejected as too destructive an image! (See photo).
Both these were one-offs and are in the DPAS Archives.
The
final sleeve painting was closely based on a famous photograph
of a tornado in America.
