Atlantic (1980)
This Blues Brothers 7" is from Belgium and it's one of the more interesting picture sleeve 7"s that was released. It contains two songs from the Blues Brothers movie soundtrack, "Everybody Needs Somebody To Love" and Jailhouse Rock." Both of which are great, of course.
Where things get interesting is the artwork. At first glance, it seems like brand new, unique artwork (a rarity for Blues Brothers 7"s). But in actuality, the two images are from the same picture used as the cover for the Made In America full length. It seems odd to me that a picture from a record that came out after the soundtrack would be used as the image for a single that is from the actual soundtrack. All I can think of is this single just came out after Made In America was released for some reason.
Regardless of the reason, I still think it's pretty cool as I always tend to favor the Blues Brothers singles that at least make an attempt at having interesting artwork.
