Notes
Air on sleeve is a die cut out of the three letters A I R
Inner gatefold information:
Always, there's some kind of fool sayin',
Keep that ball movin' on, wheelin' on', movin' on.
By the way have you heard about Martin?
He was dancing in the street.
(He got down on his knees in the middle of the crowd
and he laughed until he screamed.)
Martin goes down and he watches the face of the people.
He doesn't know why the faces aren't friendly.
Martin goes down but he doesn't see the faces he'd recognize;
they're living in lies.

Reviews
Reminder: there is a difference between "gatefold" and "unipak" covers.
Actually... to be honest I enjoy it once or two. But now I just can't stand her voice anymore!
Good compositions but in my opinion this is over-rated.
