I remember I used to have this album with a different cover art... and I wonder if anybody else has ever seen it before, as I have never come across it again... I sold it some years back as I wasn't a great fan of that particular album, but the only version I ever see is the cartoon cover.
I used to have one with KRS on the front, and if I remember correct, he was sitting on a wooden chair and covering his face from about eyes down, with his jacket... he may have been holding a gun but I can't remember clearly, so not sure about that.
Anyone got this or ever seen it?

that album is one of Kris's most underrated albums he's ever made and it is 5++++ stars too IMO...a bunch of street bangers on that project..as for the artwork your referring to I've never seen that version but please post up a pic of it if you can find it...I'd be interested to see it...

I wish I had a picture of it to post, but back then I didn't have a camera, and I can't find anything on the net, only the cartoon picture you've posted. If I ever happen to see it again I will have to get it.

I think S&V is a 4.5 star album. It's dope, but not quite on the same level as the other BDP albums IMO.
That said, the cover is probably one of the Top 10 dopest ever.

The alternative art your talking about is one of the photos in the liner notes. Maybe you came across a factory freak of that album. But all the albums have that photo once you unfold the album's jacket

Have you got a pic you can show me cos I'm not convinced, the one I had was done up as a proper album cover, I 100% doubt it was any sort of misprint.

I've never seen an alternate album cover for S&V. But while we are on the subject of S&V, I'm pretty convinced (although Kris denies it) the first verse of the song "Like a Throttle" is an answer to Ice Cube's "Self Destruction don't pay the fuckin' rent" comment he made on AmeriKKKA's Most wanted.
