ALBUM COVER DESCRIPTION

Shaggy haired and sinewy Jandek looks to our right in the right 1/4 of the frame. A featureless brick wall dominates the left 3/4.

To the right of Jandek is the glint of some sort of machine... (a tractor?). The lower part of the right side of the frame is a four-slat fence (very similar, possibly identical, to the fencing around the garden in the Telegraph Melts album cover). A large, featureless brick wall in Jandek's neighborhood? Where would that be? Perhaps related to the cement pediment in the lower right corner of Telegraph Melts .


QUOTE

"It’s tempting to ‘genericize’ these reviews of Sir Jandek: LP #14, eleven songs, B&W cover (I think I’m up for another color job), etc., but there’s enough new excitement here to keep me going for a lifetime."

– Jimmy Johnson, ''Forced Exposure'' #12
