humm your kind of asking for a lot there... To first figure out what all they did, find all the fonts and everything, and then write up a simple-to-understand tutorial...
Go to this site for lots of tutorials on various things. http://psworkshop.net/psworkshop/ none of these will show you how to make this cd cover, but they will help you to learn and understand photoshop and its tools/features, and how it can be applied.

Yes theres a lot going on there, theres an extraction of the guy himself, added to the background (which looks like a few things combined as well)then theres the fonts and making the template, it's not impossible, and would take an experienced user very long, but trying to explain it all like this would be a bit tricky

Here this will give you an idea, I made a new document 12x12 (to fit my cd case) then I used the rectangle marquee tool to create the black top and bottom borders, then I added the photo, next using the text tool I added the text top and bottom, then the last stage adding the lettering across me, I lowered the opacity and added a stroke to get the red edge.
By the way, don't all rush out to buy this album for two good reasons
1 It's not real
2 I can't sing to save my life, so even if it was real you wouldn't want to listen to it, trust me! lol Wayne
