It's more than that. The booklet, CD design, the gatefold (if it's a vinyl), the design on the cassette,and more. It's not necessarily "awkward" since music collectors value that a lot.

It was amazing. Although the cover itself was minimalistic, the design of the vinyl was impeccable. The vinyl included secret messages in the gatefold (such as the constellations) and it has cool effects when exposed to black light. The star on the cover can also be reflected using light. 

“What you have to do is bring the booklet to within about 10cm of a wall in a blackened room and shine a torch on the images that appear in the booklet (such as the stars, the man and woman, the ‘Lazarus’ title etc, etc,) and what you get is a range of fantastic coloured and 3D images. The lyrics also appear 3D with red shadow colouring.”

He really did put one of his best efforts in this album.

Also the transparent acrylic ink of the booklet and CD it's just Amazing, but the lyrics of Girl Loves Me are unreadable, but the rest is pure Gold.

btw this ink is also used on the CD credits of TFM

I read it in a "Vinyl Me, Please" article once. His elaborate efforts certainly paid off. I should buy the vinyl sometime soon. :giveup: 

Lazarus is impeccable.

The artwork by Jeff Koons is really great and I thought it could have been nominated if it had that original design in the inside booklet. Not the white and pink boring one.

However, I find the Joanne booklet and very well crafted being modern and classy fitting well the album theme. That one along with the Melodrama package would be deserving nominees for me

Have you seen his Limited edition Vinyls?

I need them in my life, just look at the symbols of the singles in the label. Blackstar, Lazarus and I Can't Give Everything Away. But that red one is just available in Japan
