Artwork[edit]
There are variations of the cover art. The first US issue of Third Eye Blind, approximately 500,000 copies, featured a gold-tinted cover photograph by photographer Christine Alicino, with a dark red band logo. The colors were then reverted (as seen above). UK and other Continental European nations continued offering the gold edition, and Japan had a cyan, negative photo cover.[8] The 20th Anniversary Edition of the album features a black version of the cover.[9]
