Weird alternative photo of the Ghost Town sleeve skellington

[Paul Rodgers]

Hi all,

I just found this photo on my computer that I forgot I had taken. It was an alternative photo to the one that ended up on the Ghost Town sleeve. It was used for a caption competition on Have I Got News for You (a British news based comedy panel show) for those who aren't familiar. 

At the time I couldn't find that image online anywhere and wondered if anyone could shed any light? I vaguely recall the Ghost Town cover was 'stolen from' or inspired by another piece of artwork.

Anyway here's the image, which I took off my telly when watching the show: 




Cheers,

and there's the weird thing. It still isn't the same photo. So I wonder where Sounds to Make You Shiver got it from?

Again that was what was causing my confusion, The picture used on Have I Got News For You was not that one.
