Ever seen Krokus' debut album? I haven't for many years. It's got something about it. Not sure what that is, though. Naked fairies, possibly.

On this day in 1988 Krokus were at #180 in the Billboard 200 with 'Heart Attack' down from #158 after peaking at #87 in an 11-week run

Whoever made this cover isn't listed on Discogs but it is a great cover, isn't it? One of MSG's best, I think.
