No Surgery Required

Emerson Lake & Palmer's Brain Salad Surgery came out at the end of 1973 and thanks to an upperclassman, I was clued in.

This is the LP front, with art by the creepy genius HR Giger.

In June of 1974, around my graduation from high school, I got out my rulers and felt-tip pens and made my own draft of the cover.

Above is a 600 dpi scan.

Fifty years later, I'm glad I put dates on things!  But check it out .... 

I also used BLACK LIGHT PAINTS.  Above is a phone photo of the thing.

And ABOVE is the thing under black light, baby!  Are you PSYCHED!  I'm PSYCHED!

See you Thursday.
