This record came complete with a set of twelve by twelve inch prints inside the record sleeve that contained the usual lyrics and corresponding pictures for each of the fifteen tracks on the album. Through writing so far, I have learnt that extra effort to create a complete idea within a record is one thing that can really make it special. Each of the individual pictures within this sleeve was a visual representation of the song that ranged in subtlety. Some are obvious, like the cover image for ‘Monkey gone to heaven’ which contained a monkey and the numbers five, six and seven; a reference to key lyrics in the song. Others carry much more of a covert set of objects but all contain at least some reference to a lyric in the appropriate song.
