Yes it’s a stunning cover for a stunning record. She looks so wistful….goes so well with the question in the title. I liked it in your intro when you said that 9 minutes on, as the track drew to a close, it seemed as if life was a little different That’s how I felt: kinda exhausted and spellbound. This track has been with me ever since, through good times and bad….I haven’t yet come across another piece of music that can quite transport me to the same plane.

I could have written these words myself. I was in this record dealers attic in 1992 flicking through hundreds of dusty old LPs not knowing one title from another let alone how the hell I was ever going to choose from (before the web, blogs and sound samples of course) Then I saw that cover. It literally arrested me on the spot. I asked the dealer, a guy wisely guy called Mark Wimmers, “Hey is the music as beautuful as the cover?” He smiled wryly and said “No,…more beautiful”

thanks
