If you are use gimp always watch the image quality when you save. Sometimes gimp, for what ever reason will save a image at less quality. So you might start with a high quality image but end with something of far less quality. Just make sure the slider stays at 100% every time you save.
Gimp is free so I guess you get what you pay for.

If you are saving as a .JPEG, that is also with Photoshop. JPGs are compressed, so the image will lose quality. I always save as a PNG, no quality loss.
Think of it this way:
PNG - WAV or FLAC
JPG - MP3

Here's a static version in a higher quality file format.
Tiny bit more cleaning required, maybe a little colour balancing and yeah. That'll be that!

I was going to do the whole cover, however I'll just upload the image for you lads to finish it. Got a couple technical issues holding me back from completing it.

Great! I'm going to make a retail cover with it. I found some good images of the back for reference.
