Excerpt from liner notes:
"The album cover was photographed by me. The lion is a friend of mine. The other is a self portrait shot at 5:30 in the morning in Rhodesia several days after the Zambian shootings. (nikon ftn fitted with a 135mm lens exposure 1/125sec at f2.8 on ektachrome.) The back cover I shot in England. I could only find green apples, so fingernail polish was used to make the apple red. All of this excessive information is required, by someone, I suppose, but before all of this, I was thinking... Is there life after birth??"
