Annotation

A copy of this Release, which I have in my hand, is very similar to the posted Cover Art in most respects. However, the Booklet images 9 through 14, which are photos of the performers during the recording session, are not present in my copy of the Release. This might be a reason to create a new Release. However, I lack information such as the Release date for this new version. —Jim DeLaHunt, 6 July 2022.

I suspect that the Cover Art image 2, marked Liner, should in fact be marked Front+Spine. I suspect that image 8, marked Booklet, should in fact be marked Back. This is based on comparison to a copy of the physical Release, in my hand. —Jim DeLaHunt, 6 July 2022.
