PS: a favorite local FM station of my youth signed off the air at midnight everynight with Weisberg's version of "Nights in White Satin"

I haven't thought of him in years, I only have one CD by him "Rotations" and I still like it. Haven't heard of this one so can't express any opinion.

As FMPD of my college station, all it took was one look at the ghastly cover -- I never aired it. It's the most repulsive A&M album cover.
Nothing against you, Tim. If A&M had provided a plain white jacket, it would've gotten you a listen. (So much for my OPEN MIND.)

 

[LPJim]

I'd speculate that the cover art concept - disarranged body parts - was inspired by the first album by Toe Fat in 1970. The photo subject's head is replaced by (you guessed it) a giant toe.
That band released only two albums, titled ONE and TWO respectively, and disappeared into history. Two members later were in Uriah Heap.

Without clicking on Toe Fat, I can visualize it -- and yes, it's from the same stomach-turning art concept realm beyond kitsch and ersatz. It's funny how even those of us who strive to be objective have irrational chinks in our armour. There are those LPs we fell in love with too easily -- most often because of the situation or moment...usually a romantic one.
And others we dispatch to eternal doom because the subliminal image affects a suppressed memory or impulse. (No, I didn't get this from Dr. Phil). In Weisberg's cover, the re-assembled and exaggerated body parts just gross me out. And makes one grateful for today's market testing with focus groups.
