This gatefold cover is a real treasure. Created for a 7-inch single, backed by an additional free 45. The front photograph shows a Lady in disguise with a leopard pattern guitar, that is fitting perfect to her dress. She wears some strange cover across one of her eyes, reflecting light in a star shape. This outfit makes her looking a little like a zombie and the whole front picture shows up strange coldness. All this seems to stand in straight contrast to the title track; 'Desire Me'. On the inside we discover the same woman on a big black and white photograph in a typical guitar players pose. To see a woman behave like a 'guitar-hero' seems to be still unusual, but I really like it. The back shows a photo collage selection of band members, arranged with additional coloured design elements and shapes. The free record's flip side contains an extended version of the title song and has to be played at 33 rpm.
