deepinder cheema 20th Apr 2015		I have a theory about the design used by Teenburger for this cover. I can't prove my thesis fully I was asked by a member of the band if I knew where are the photos used for the inner sleeve. There is no credit for the photographer but it is clear that it must be Colin Fulcher/Teenburger. I believe that he went to see the band whilst recording at Wessex Studios. When I was watching the recent documentary on Queen it focussed on the time the band and Sex Pistols were recording at Wessex. The filming at formerly Wessex to capture the various encounters with Queen and Sid Vicious showed me that Wessex was a neo Gothic deconsecrated church which has to be what Barney decided to do for the LP cover. I know from my research on his Red Dirt LP design that Barney could work rapidly once he had his idea. Barney had seen the band; looked at their name saw the recording studio; it seems to me he had what was needed to create the LP cover and the enigmatic 'Barney space' which can be seen from the cover of a Surrealist publication which is the centrefold of this LP.



yvetot-bocage 19th Apr 2015		In my opinion, the best progressive album ever recorded as it goes way beyond the progressive tag anyway. It's just a classic album on par with the greatest albums produced in the late sixties and early seventies.



deepinder cheema 11th Apr 2015		The winged creature is 'The goddess Victory of Samothrace' found in Le Louvre' I think this is known as Nike and not an angel called 'Cressida' as published in a silly book about the sleeve designer Barney Bubbles who was Teenburger seen here as sleeve credit.



robozuc ● 13th Nov 2014		The reissue on Vertigo swirl, is without the PHILIPS credit on the label.



robozuc ● 13th Nov 2014		Covers added.



deepinder cheema 23rd Dec 2013		The LP had at least 2 pressings. The sleeve and label was subtly adjusted.
