Seemon & Marijke
SON OF AMERICA
A&M SP 4309
'The Son of America' statue is a life-sized fibre-glass model of Hollywood stunt man Jack Tyrie.
Alternating coloured lights, pulsating on and off, like a heart beat, constantly change The Son of America's multicoloured body.
This (the inner sleeve photo) is a model of the 150-foot tall statue we want to put up in the Hollywood Hills, and we need your support to make this concept into a reality.
If you have any suggestions or would like more information please write to us c/o A&M Records Inc., P.O. box 782, Beverly Hills, Calif. 90213.'
Love,
Seemon & Marijke.
