Mary, listen to me ... I've got so many great ideas - a windmill, a landmark or two, grass, a piano player - it is going to look spectacular.

"Freddie - what are you doing this afternoon? We need you to come down to take a look at the cover art.

Wait a minute Freddie .... You know what? Forget it. We're good."

If you're alone with your lady on a Saturday night
If you want to make love
But her muscles are tight.

Just put on this music
By some low candlelight
And get her loosed up
And make it all right.

"Nigel, have you seen this cover?"
"Yes, Derek, I have ... it is very interesting."
"Do you think we should ask David to take a look at it?"
"Yes, Derek, I think we should."

I just bought this today at a bargain price ($1). I'm a big fan of Henri Texier but this album cover is awful. I almost didn't buy it even at that price.

"Okay Annie hop off, we got time for one more.

Where's the bald guy with the light blue pants?

Bring him in now.

Hey Max, can you photoshop a lion in later?

Why? I don't know why - can you do it?"

Here we go Phil.

Stubble? Check
Tight jeans? Check
Tight jacket? Check
Painful stance? Check
Loose boots? Check

Hey Phil, what's with that fancy walking stick?

Has anyone seen Archie? I hear he wanted to see the cover we were planning.

What's that? No, no that's ok - no need to wake him.

Hey y'all let's just think this through ... how about a cover that sums up the music perfectly?

When in doubt, go for literal.

And don't hire a Photoshop expert to handle the compositing.
A hobbyist will do just fine for this limited edition.
