Description

1984 peaked at number 2 on the Billboard album charts, (behind Michael Jackson’s Thriller, which featured an Eddie Van Halen guitar solo on “Beat It”,) and remained there for 5 straight weeks. It contained the anthems “Jump”, “Panama”, “I’ll Wait” and “Hot for Teacher”.

The cover art was created by graphic artist Margo Nahas. The model was Carter Helm, who was the child of one of Nahas’ best friends, whom she photographed holding a candy cigarette. The front cover was censored in the UK at the time of the album’s release. It featured a sticker that obscured the cigarette in the putto’s hand and the pack of cigarettes. The back cover features all four band members individually with 1984 in a green futuristic font.
