The Ragady Anne front cover was drawn our friend, artist Sean Aaberg of The Masked Men & Goblinko. We stayed up all night with him while he drew it and here's what he remembers...

"The Ragadys asked me to do their 7" cover, & then wouldn't really tell me what they wanted. So, they all came over for one of these Masked Men//Ragady Anne sleepovers & told me what to draw. I didn't pencil it at all, it was just straight up pens with various band members telling what to draw next. Then I would add things, like I think the Masked Men are all standing on the building next to the ferris wheel. Also, if you look closely, that's me in the bottom right corner being abducted by aliens. They wanted an Ewok too, also Totoro & the cat-bus. The Orc in the front is wearing a "Jr. Stagedive Brazil" arm-band. He was some guy from Brazil Mtv that we met on the way to see Jello Biafra & DOA. I also remember the review in MRR said something like, "The cover looks like something a death-metaller drew on his binder", which is just about right. I think a candle burned through my rug that evening as well, & Michael hit me with a guitar. I was into this folked-out international crust-Punk thing at the time, which wasn't about careful image manipulation or anything like that... I was anti-pop savvyness at the time. What I think is maybe "most" interesting is that there are tons of Punk artists whose style still hasn't changed from that period. If I could do it again, I would paint a Garbage Pail Kids card type deal with a trashed out Ragady on there." - Mr. Sean
