Headache (EP)

Headache is a 1987 EP by Chicago post-hardcore band Big Black. The record generated some controversy due to a cover photograph of a shotgun suicide victim whose head was split in half; it only appeared on a very limited edition of the record and was later replaced with a drawing by Savage Pencil.^[3] Original pressings bore the sticker reading "Not as good as Atomizer, so don't get your hopes up, cheese!", not as a gimmick but to warn fans as the band thought that Headache was not the stronger release.
