It was coincidental that I chose all covers from 1980 today.
The Attractions, Single Girl, F-Beat UK 7-inch, 1980.
Elvis Costello's backing band put out a single and an album (Mad About the Wrong Boy) in 1980. I never heard any of it, but I want to! At least one of their songs ("Sad About Girls") was recorded by them with Elvis. This cover is most likely a Barney Bubbles!
The B-52's, Private Idaho, Warner Bros. US 7-inch, 1980
Desmond Dekker, Israelites, Stiff Records UK 7-inch, 1980.
Also probably designed by Barney Bubbles.
Elvis Costello, High Fidelity, F-Beat UK 7-inch, 1980.
The center area is a hole, showing the label on the record, which was bright lime green!
Also probably by Barney Bubbles.
Delta 5, Try/Colour, Rough Trade UK 7-inch, 1980
