The cover artwork of Sam's Town features model and singer Felice LaZae. The artwork inside the album booklet is taken from a Downtown Las Vegas mural painted by Suzanne Hackett-Morgan, a local painter.
Sam's Town was also a huge sign that was visible to band member Mark Stoermer through his room window when he was young.Īccording to photographer Anton Corbijn, the band initially wanted a 'chic, gypsy look' for the album, and that 'out of those discussions came these elements of faded glory.' The album's co-producer, Flood, is dressed as a Native American in the CD booklet. The album takes its name from Sam's Town Hotel and Gambling Hall, a hotel and casino in Las Vegas, the band's hometown. The reissue is limited to 5,016 copies and includes two bonus tracks-the previously unreleased demo 'Peace of Mind' and a Pet Shop Boys remix of 'Read My Mind'. On October 7, 2016, Sam's Town was reissued as a remastered double vinyl by Bong Load Records, celebrating the 10th anniversary of the album. Sam's Town has sold almost five million copies worldwide. Regarding the album, frontman Brandon Flowers noted that he 'wanted to create an album that captured, chronologically, everything important that got me to where I am today'. It was released on September 27, 2006, by Island Records.
Sam's Town is the second studio album by American rock band the Killers.
