NICK LOWE - Labour Of Lust (Radar Records – RAD 56 676) Germany 1979 LP (New Wave, Pop Rock, Power Pop) | Vinyl: NM (mint-) | cover: NM (mint-) | comes with printed inner sleeve.

English singer-songwriter, musician and producer, born 24 March 1949 in Walton-On-Thames, England, UK. 
The album cover and corresponding ad campaign was designed by Barney Bubbles, who designed the artwork for virtually all of the early albums and 45's by Lowe, Elvis Costello, Ian Dury, the Damned, and many other Stiff Records and Radar Records artists. It featured a distinctive "Hamer & sickle" logo, fashioning the body and snapped neck of Lowe's Hamer bass guitar into a pop-art Hammer and sickle, the symbol of proletarian solidarity from the Russian Revolution. This logo was also used on the sleeve of the 45 release of "Cracking Up." Bubbles's original mockup of the logo, which recently sold at auction,^[3] is featured in the gatefold sleeve of the 2011 Yep Roc reissue of the album.
