Gods Zoo

Very smart clean vinyl with a great cover a very good package.

Gods Zoo" is a single by the English post punk/gothic rock band Death Cult (who later shortened their name to The Cult) and was released on 23 October 1983. The song is often, erroneously, spelled "God's Zoo" (with an apostrophe in the word "Gods", indicating possessive case).  No credit is given to the design of the picture sleeve for the single. The front features the group's name centered between four stereoscopic printed television sets. Within each television is an image. Clockwise from top left the images are as follows: (1) the group's Mickey Mouse "skull" logo; (2) a nude female drawing (artist unknown, but the image is often credited to Astbury even though this has never been confirmed); (3) a portion of a Tim Page photograph of ARVN soldiers interrogating a Viet Cong suspect - it should be noted that the group's first release, the eponymous Death Cult EP, featured a Tim Page Vietnam photograph on its picture sleeve also (both Astbury and Duffy have expressed an interest in the history of the Vietnam War which was also apparently a trend in the United Kingdom at the time); (4) a portion of a photograph of Jimi Hendrix (one of the group's influences).
