Reality Check: Police-Ghost In The Machine "Numbers"
I don't know why I never noticed it before, but the "numbers" on the front of the album are really their three faces. Did everyone else just know this already or am I the only one who missed this detail?

Hahaha - I thought that was really obvious....I actually remember walking past my old record store - seeing the album propped up in the front window and doing a double take when I saw their 'faces'...

Sometimes this makes me wonder what else I've totally missed the point of in life ;-)

Perhaps we need an image to jog everyon'es memory...I think Sting's spiked up hair in the middle was the dead giveaway...

I thought it looked like my first digital clock after I threw it against the wall one early morning.

You're just now realizing that?

That's OK, I've done that with other albums.

I was still stuck on trying figure out what the lyric "that book by Nabokov" meant so I never got around to picking up GITM to study the album cover!

I never noticed it, guess I should pay more attention to album art.
