Not so much the cover as the band name - what on earth made a 'jazz-rock' band in 1971 call itself Trifle.

Just in case that is a UK term, this is a trifle:

Layers of fruit, jelly (jell-o?), custard, cream etc.

No idea about the band. Amazon says:

Formed in late 1969 the band comprised George Bean

(vocals, guitar), Patrick Speedy King (bass), Barry Martin

(saxophones), John Pritchard (trumpet) and Rod Coombes

(drums).

Trifle signed to Pye s Dawn imprint in 1970 and their only

album was recorded for later that year, by which time the

band were joined by trumpet player Dick Cuthell for the

recording sessions. In the vein of similar acts such as

Manfred Mann Chapter Three and Colosseum, Trifle sought

to fuse jazz and rock, also touching on folk styles (as

evidenced by the fact that Trifle covered The Dubliners

Dirty Old Town as the B-side to their Old fashioned

Prayer Meeting single).
