Sigh.
Does anyone know where I can buy this online when it goes on sale?

Someone commented on Slicing Up Eyeballs that the photo Morrissey chose is actually for the back cover.
EDIT: Oh, it actually says that in the description linked to above: "The photo on the back cover by Danny Fitzgerald is evocative of the period and was selected by Morrissey."
Aesthetically, that's kinda dumb, but I guess this front cover will help it sell better.
Yeah, I guess. I hate how obviously "digital" this cover looks, though...the typography is so poorly done. I wish they'd just matched the original Ramones logo.
There's nothing like hearing some trust fund kid from Orange County
What the f*** are you talking about?
(And yes, I realize I'm asking this of someone who thinks Morrissey and Nancy Sinatra are lovers, but whatever...)

I believe that's exactly what they have done. The wonky letters are positioned with letraset, not digital.

The hand-kerning on the original logo is just fine. The horrendous kerning on this album cover is absolutely, unquestionably digital, and looks nothing like the image you linked to. Like CG pointed out, it's especially atrocious in "DEE DEE." That's what happens when you rely on automation and don't use your eyeballs. And don't even get me started on that straight apostrophe...
The kerning is identical to the original logo. Maybe you need look at a bigger image.

Compare Dee Dees.
All they've done is take a print of the logo and stuck a Union Jack on it.
