Actually,neither Burning World or CoG ever had the bunnies on the covers originally..those were used during the White Light from the Mouth of Infinity/Love of Life period,and for the Various Failures collection that covered them&that period.

Burning World had a beautiful Robert Mapplethorpe photo of a calla lily and CoG..um..was reddish and black w/ symbols and such on it..try... http://www.swans.pair.com ....think that's right..they should have pics of all the originals

Gira can be quite fickle and particular about how his music from that period is presented,and it's actually quite suprising to see BW finally getting such (deserved) treatment,as he has long stubbonly insisted that the disc would never be re-issued as he had problems with the final mix etc.....I still think it's a fine fine album,and he obviously still cares for some of it enough to still perform,'Goddamn the Sun"..(which would actually be one of the songs on my list for the "overwhelmed in agooey way" thread below/above)..in solo performances and occcasionally with Angels of Light
..who,btw...have a new album and tour due soon...new one looks to be quite something!
