For those of you who are sharp of eye, you've noticed that the original album cover is different from this new version. The cover of this reissue is how I intended it to be originally. Somewhere along the way, the cover was modified without my input. Here's a magnificent Victorian home in Los Angeles ? one of a precious few ? fenced off to be torn down. I always thought it was a more poignant statement as it was originally intended. I hope you all agree and enjoy the music.
