^Agreed. The colors, typography, and general background is better on the US version for me. And I have no problem with the placement of the characters either. But their faces are so weird looking! The "main" version has characters that looks much nicer, but I don't like that no one is looking at the book, and the colors are more washed out and pale. The ideal version for me would be the US version, but with faces drawn like the UK version. So I won't vote.

I like the typography and atmosphere of the original art, but the nun is just such an eyesore, and brown such an ugly color, that my preference is the much more vibrant, and british art with the more free-spirited woman

Renaissance's Novella was published with two versions of the cover art. the original was painted for the American first pressing of the album, but supposedly Annie Haslam was unhappy with that one and requested a new one be painted for future pressings. The one that was painted for the UK release would become the "main" cover art for the album in subsequent presses.
