Which Be Not Nobody cover?

I personally think the new cover should have smaller text (such that "Vanessa Carlton" fits between the edges of the artwork that the "V" and "on" covers up, and "Be not Nobody" is in smaller letters, and the cover art should be 12 inches across instead of 5½.

i've never heard the original, so i guess the one in the shops
"i'm willing to do anything
to calm the storm in my heart
i've never been the praying kind
but lately i've been down upon my knees
not looking for a miracle
just a reason to believe"

Wow, I had no idea there was an alternative cover. Interesting stuff.

I like the original. It's more surreal and weird (for want of a better word), like Vanessa and like most of the music inside :)

This is the first I've heard of an alternative  cover.

I gotta go with the original. I think its more her own style and design. The one we have now took her design and cleaned it up for commercial release. But I like the original.

-Kev
Yes, but wouldn't you agree that she's been cleaned up a bit too. Wouldn't you agree that Be not Nobody was released and not Rinse because Rinse is more her style (darker). The idea of "divide and conquer" too dark so we have "ordinary day". I do like the original more though.

I was refering to the original cover, not the Rinse album which has no cover.
