    A classic album. I’m fortunate to have it on pre-recorded open-reel.

    Y’know it is a strong recording, musically (I personally prefer ‘Tea For The Tillerman’. With that said, I really dislike the lame-ass cover art on ‘Teaser’. The phony-folk art literal translation of the title combined with the crunchy granola type-face and wide open white space, make me want to hurl the cover onto the floor and stomp on it with muddy boots.

    “The Wind” and “If I Laugh” are two of the all-time greats. Dig that Cat!

    That’s funny. There isn’t anything I actually DISLIKE about this album or its packaging. LOL.

    And, come on….”Bitterblue”??? Pure awesome.

    and there was also an animated cartoon of the story-might be on youtube i may have it somewhere but i don’t like the fact that his advocacy for the murder of that author is now brushed under the carpet
