@historyofpunkrock Does anyone recall a Nina Hagen LP cover with a closeup and she's smoking a cigarette? I didn't find it on discogs at first glance.

Edit: here it is discogs.com/master/56546-Nina-

Weirdly, I recall a different variant, but this one will do.

@kalloway @historyofpunkrock I clearly recall the other photos shown on discogs. My mind must be romanticizing this cover.

@sunsetdriver

Maybe something from the same shoot on the back or gatefold?

@kalloway That is what I'm thinking or I might have looked it up on discogs years ago. Anyway, the LP did/does exist.

@sunsetdriver @historyofpunkrock This is on the CD-cover, which, as I remember it, the same as the LP-cover, only smaller.

@balglaas @historyofpunkrock I've lost this LP a long time ago. So, I assume the photo was the same. Thank you.

@jaybad It must be the right cover. Things start fading when you haven't seen it for over 30 years.
