written, very Irish, very heart-felt". Artwork According to Decca's record sleeve co-ordinator, John Slater, Phil Lynott came to his office to discuss ideas for the album cover and to explain his ideas: "His first notion was for a burning hand coming out of a freshly dug grave! He wasn't interested in doing it with a cartoon twist, it had to be real life." They decided upon an American automobile theme, but failed to find the right car, so eventually chose a fish-eye photograph of the headlight of "a Vauxhall Victor or something like that." Lack of communication between Decca and Thin Lizzy resulted in the album cover initially having the wrong spelling of the band's name, showing 'Tin Lizzy'. Philip Tapsfield of the Decca Art Department recalls: "One of our in-house artists, David Ansty, designed their sleeve. He actually did the sleeve with the name 'Tin Lizzy' instead of 'Thin Lizzy'." Decca tried to convince the band to change their name instead of designing the cover again, but the band's refusal resulted in the postponement of the album release for a week, while the artwork was being corrected. The band's manager Ted Carroll has also stated that another designer, Walt McGuire from Decca American, designed different artwork for the US release, which is now a collector's item. The US album cover shows a mini cartoon model of a Ford Model T car (aka Tin Lizzie) driving over a naked female hip, while the back sleeve features various band photos including a fish-eye shot taken in Dublin in autumn 1970, by photographer Roy Esmonde, along with some shots taken in the studio. Influence The song "Honesty Is No Excuse" was covered by Cass McCombs on his 2013 album Big Wheel and Others.
