Hard to define, superb to listen. Opus dei is one of the weirdest, most influential albums ever released in the eighties. Five starsreferencing Opus Dei (LP, Album) LL 1565
So, apparently, for the Yugoslavian edition John Heartfield's axe-swastika artwork was removed from the innersleeve, completely ignoring that it was taken from a famous anti-nazi manifesto. It seems once again Laibach proved the absurdity and contradictions of the regime they were born into.- Edited 2 years ago

My copy is only lightly embossed on back sleeve. Has anybody got informations on this ?
Is the original pressing embossed on front sleeve too ? referencing Opus Dei (LP, Album) STUMM 44
This needs a nice vinyl reissue - Kevin Gray could do the mastering, and I will shell out the money for it....big time !referencing Opus Dei (LP, Album) WAX 030
Great album. I had it played when my cleaning people came by. I apologized as this style of music is not for everyone. But they all enjoyed it and thought it was a good and varied album.referencing Opus Dei (LP, Album) STUMM 44
Wondering if anyone can offer some insight. I've got a copy of this that matches this release completely, but came with a large tour posted featuring a cropped part of the album art and advertising mostly German concert dates in December (presumably 1987). Does anyone else have similar? Or is it likely someone has bought this UK release and stored a tour poster obtained elsewhere with the record?referencing Opus Dei (LP, Album) STUMM 44
Oboy... This really didn't age well. But I grew up on it, so for me it's a nice trip. I suspect that the Queen and Opus covers still hold some water, regardless, and FIAT is a nice, if basic, cinematic track.
