Cover: Triveaux Pond, 1916/17
Oil on canvas 92.7 x 74.3 cm
Henri Matisse (1869-1954)
Reproduced by Courtesy of the Trustees, the Tate Gallery, London.
The runout message on side A is a misspelled, unpunctuated quotation from the opening of John Keats' 1820 ballad 'La Belle Dame sans Merci'. The correct couplet is:
O what can ail thee, knight-at-arms,
Alone and palely loitering?

Had to glue the picture back on several times with a pritt stick! :)
Beautiful record and one of my column highlights. From the wonderful cover design to the spacey and odd music inside. Perfect.
Not anymore: just got reissued as a superb, 4 CD box:
