The Nice

"The Thoughts Of Emerlist Davjack" (Holland)



"Brandenburger" (Sweden)



"Hang On To A Dream" (Holland)
The German edition of this single features one of the ugliest sleeves in my collection. It appears to be a close-up picture of debris in a junkyard, tinted dark green.



"Country Pie" (Holland)



"America"/"Diamond Hard Blue Apples Of The Moon" (Japan)
The disc is red vinyl. As usual with Japanese releases, the inside of the sleeve features an unintentionally comical attempt at a transcription of the lyrics:

When the first drop circled from the heads of all the evil
In confusion from the axels that's not for us to see
Sit on magic carpet, circles may be seen often
The diamond hard blue apples of the moon
The diamond hard blue apdles [sic.] of the moon

Lying in the dark room undes magic flying carpet
He has searched to find the blanket and the apples of the moon
On a pretty bear, trying to make a fair of
The diamond hard blue apples of the moon
The diamond hard blue apples of the moon
[etc.]

Mind you, I'm not sure what Jackson is singing half the time myself!
