Album Cover Description
Strange film stock. Strange muted colors. Window dressing is drawn. A book (Penguin Classics "Shakespeare," perhaps?) conspicuously (deliberately) placed on the sill. Two other books on a circular table with a brandy snifter vase with three or four red flowers (carnations?). A couch or armchair is half off the left side of the frame... with an ashtray resting on the arm.
The edge of an ottoman can barely be seen in the lower right corner of the frame.
Very large window with old wooden molding. Bizarre coloring, perhaps even for the late seventies.
The scene seems very "forced"... the objects are not arrayed naturally.
Album was originally recorded under the name the Units. After a legal threat from the New Wave band of the same name, Corwood Industries released every subsequent album under the name of Jandek.Music Notes
