They do Fergus, they do....it's just a pity they ruined it with the sleeve for volume three despite using the same artist.
Yes Dermot, I see what you mean. The third one is not a bad image but does not appear to be in the same context as the other two I feel. Perhaps it reflects a different tone in the music?[/quote]
Actually the situation is more mundane than that Fergus. I remember contacting the composer himself to enquire why the original sleeve for Persistent Repetition of Phrases wasn't being used for the Lp version - the sleeve they used is very,very similar to the one we're talking about. He told me that it was too small for the Lp size cover!?!? So I would imagine a similar situation presented itself with the album in question - probably ran out of time due to extremely tight deadlines etc etc. I still cannot figure out whether it's a Narnia moment or a wardrobe one :-)
