Know nothing about the music, but they clearly had someone taking care of business in the album design department.

I once drew that cover and put it in my GCSE art folder (I used a grid to get the proportions right). My art teacher - a very trendy, late 60s hippy type who spent most of his time helping the prettier girls - praised me to the skies for it and said it was a pity I hadn't done anything as good earlier (we were only a few weeks from submitting porfolios). He hadn't a clue it was just a copy!  I think it might have been the only time in 2 years he showed any interest in me...like my PE teachers, he obviously assumed I was a lost cause!

Of course, we are of different generations, Bev. In about 1972 when I was 32 and teaching in an art college, a 17-year-old student made a valiant attempt to get me to listen to King Crimson. I could hear it had something, but my jazz roots were already planted too deep after 15 years of listening to permit of alternatives.

Like me with punk in 1977! 

For you Coltrane was contemporary music; for me it was on the same level as listening to Elgar or Richard Strauss.
