I guess Evans modified the photo for the cover. I think he should get an "additional art" credit only.

"Screenplay, lyrics and music written by MEL CROUCHER.
ZX Spectrum computer program written by ANDREW STAGG."

This appears to be what happened. Mel Croucher tells the story here (p 46):

Comparing the original photo and cover, I think Evans should perhaps get a cover art credit.

Sqij: Tim White

[mention]Ralf[/mention] has previously pointed out that the cover matches that of a John Morrisey book. As far as I can see, they are exactly the same image (even down to the patterns of the radiating lines). Tim White was the cover artist for the book cover: http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?253229
