I'd love to see the Dream Factory album get an official release, but without Susannah's artwork.
I know it's a rough sketch, but it looks really amateurish.

I wonder if that was one of the reasons it didn't see the light of day.
Grits and gravy, cheese eggs and jam...
Butterscotch clouds, a tangerine and a side order of ham.

Yeah, that's it. A whole album goes unreleased because of one option for artwork. #NailedIt

Sorry, it's the Hodgkin's talking.

May not be the reason it was released but the drawing is awful.

It means it's relative to the viewer, isn't it? It's a piece of history, whether folks dig it or not, which - for me - is what's important here. I'm sure folks thought Prince and his thigh-burns on Dirty Mind wasn't the most attractive thing in a year's time either. (It sorta reminds me of a Thin Lizzy or Ted Nugent album cover from the 70s, but I can't think of the right one.) It was a rough sketch, so I'd have been interested to see how it was finessed into a final cover. It'd almost have the same folklore as the ATWIAD covers, and how he ditched one painting for another, but with all the same elements.

Sorry, it's the Hodgkin's talking.

One of my Spanish students once wrote in an assessment that he didn't like a hotel because 'el portero era una taza'. It took me ages to realise that he didn't mean that the bellboy was a cup, but a mug...
