Fine single but distorted cover art

"I was hoping the cover art would've been better, But upon opening my Amazon package, I was a little bit disappointed. Obviously, the cover art is snatched directly from a screen cap of the actual video clip of "Dark Road". Annie is squeezed rather narrow and blurred, which is weird, as though we're looking at the cover from a slight right angle. I like the slimline jewelcase packaging and simple black disc with red lettering. Very simple and straightforward.
I'm playing the cd as i'm writing this, so here's what I think about the acoustic version. It's light but not boring. There's still keyboard and background arrangements, but in a refreshing sort of way. It could've very well been added as a bonus track on either version of the album. The vocal arrangement is a little different in parts, which is cool because Annie always works with layering of vocals. The last line of the song ends slightly different from the album version, which is cool too.
I bought it for collector's purposes, and because I like the song and wanted to support Annie. Track two will go on my ipod because it's one of those "feeling" songs where I can't help but play it when I'm in a dark mood.
Here is the tracklist and total time:
01- Dark Road (Album Version) 3'47
02- Dark Road (Acoustic Version) 3'30"
Dark Road is one of the best roads.

"This is Annie Lennox as we all love her dark and soulful. This CD comes with a music CD and an Interview CD. She explains every record and you feel like you really enjoy the songs. Ms. Lennox is one of my favorite singers and this CD does not disappoint..
If you like Vampires Kiss then you'll love this whole CD"
