<shakes head> Duh! How did I come up with you being the artist when it says
right there in the notes that "The overall recordings have, of necessity,
been 'cleaned up' (cedared by the incomparable Gordon) a little and EQ'd but
ostensibly these are as they were twenty-something years ago". They sound
terrific, so hats of to you for your work from the 8 track masters.

So who did the artwork? Nick? Calling Nick...
