Nick Lowe – Jesus Of Cool

Jesus Of Cool was released in the U.K. in March 1978 and peaked at # 22 in Music Week a month later. Its American counterpart, Pure Pop For Now People, was released in the U.S.A. also in March 1978 and peaked at # 127 on the Billboard Album Chart the following month.

The are at least four versions of the artwork with the six photographs on the front sleeve being different:
- The UK version with one picture of Dave Edmunds (which shares the same sleeve with most of the other versions): Jesus Of Cool
- The North American version (which also has a different rear sleeve and title): Pure Pop For Now People (Canada)
- The Scandinavian version (which differs significantly from most of the other versions; all but one of the six photographs on the front sleeve are different, they are all of Nick Lowe (no pics of Dave Edmunds), and the reflection on the rear sleeve is green while in most of the other versions it is white): Jesus Of Cool (Norway). The Scandinavian, Finnish and Norwegian versions also have an extra track "Cruel To Be Kind", which was not included on the original UK version.
- Reissue on Demon Records Jesus Of Cool which has a set of six pictures of Nick Lowe not used in any of the other versions, with the reflection on the rear cover being red. There are single sleeve and gatefold versions of this one.
