A painting of the band, created especially for the launch of their debut, rather unusual efforts in music business. This is the only original Lp ever released by this band, and it is reported, that only 3,000 copies had been sold.
The picture shows the musicians in front of 'Tower Bridge' one of London's famous points of interest. They are leaving the impression, as if they are at least very reflective, or do they even feel queasy with this situation? The flip side shows a funny looking dude trying to hang loose. After all, this cover certainly belongs in the category 'standing out in the crowd'.
