Design #01 / "Ka-lik" of the two color linocut hand printed, hand assembled sleeve for the Melvins / Jon Spencer Blues Explosion - Black Betty tri-colour 7" single.    Each art show sleeve is designed, printed, signed and numbered by Haze XXL in an edition of 10 for the Apocalyptic Mongoloid: Ocular Variant Infestation show on 1st October 2011 (scroll down for the poster).

There are 10 copies of each art show sleeve with tri-colour vinyl (total = 100), an additional 100 copies of the tri-colour vinyl in standard design sleeve (33 went to the Melvins, 66 to the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion) and 800 on Splatter vinyl. The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion version was recorded whilst they were on tour in Australia at Linear Recording, Sydney. The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion version of the track was used in a Volkswagen advert broadcast during Super Bowl XLV on 6th February 2011 (shown below). A 'making of' video can be seen on youtube.com [LINK]. Although the earliest known recording is by James Iron Head Baker and Group (1933) the Blues Explosion version has more in common with the Leadbelly adaption and the most famous rock arrangement is by Ram Jam.
