Little Big should be coming back at some point... its entirely a financial roadblock that keeps it from happening immediately. Right now, all of our production budgets are going into other things (including the Eddies still, believe it or not...) but once things open up a bit, that one would be an easy one to bring back.

The "window puzzle" was not in reference to the church window on the back of the FS sleeve, but to a recurrent graphic device which appeared on the inserts for the four original LPs of the Chronicles (containing the A!C story and the lyrics) - on the front of each insert, in one of the four corners, was a quarter of a window frame with a starry background and lettering across the front. To solve the "puzzle", one needed to acquire all four inserts and place the four window quarters together to spell out "World Vision", "Compassion International", and "Ayuda". I believe this was reproduced for the book set, but my copy is packed away somewhere after several moves, so I can't verify that. It wasn't a mind-boggler of a puzzle anyway, but there it is - the rest of the story.

Da Quiz-a-rooni

Any one have the answers to these questions off the Doppelgang Newsletter 1986 ?

DA QUIZ-A-ROONI
1. Who is the unidentified man on the right side of the Vox Humana front cover?
2. Which song on Doppelganger was inspired by Terry's dog Holland?
3. How many children does Ed McTaggart have and what are their names?

4. Who is the unidentified man on the cover of Fearful Symmetry?

I heard a rumor (from a good source-but yet) that the man on the cover was a photographer-trying to get out of the way during a dark shooting sequence of the church window.

anyone else heard that?

Posted by snowblind on 08-30-2007 at09:11:

Why is he shirtless? Shocked

Posted by jiminy on 08-30-2007 at09:32:

heres where the rumor kicked in...

I was told it was really hot in the church ....(?) -
thats where I said ..uhm-OK.

but you can see the entire cover is artworked-so it could have been taken from an actual image (therefore the streaks of exposure left intact.)

LATEST reports on Tony say he says
No it was not me.

I tend to think the FS guy was the result of something somewhat accidental..dont know the real whatup-
I think the rumor is based on some truth however.
