It's not out yet, so what you saw was probably an advance copy
sent out to some jerk critic or radio station that only like
plays Neil Diamond. If it *was* an advance copy, that might/
not be the final cover art they decide on.
Also, it might be some bootlegger's attempt to cash in on
the GH album by getting a fake one into the stores first and
fooling fans into buying it. The price sounds like that's
whats happen. $45 a CD ususlly = bootleg.
