Whats all that stuff on The Bends album cover?
The cover is taken from one of those dummies they use to teach mouth-to-mouth that they found in the John Radcliffe hospital in Oxford. The inside cover includes pictures (from left to right) of a blown up belly of a Gulf war soldier (as in expanded not exploded), some people walking along a street in New Zealand, the colours used on the Bends T-shirt, a face drawn by Thom, Japanese car salesmen, symbols from a Japanese weather programme, someone being given defibrillator treatment, the band in an airport lounge, an icon of the old revolving world the BBC used to use before programmes came on).
