Send us Fan Mail They cut two corners off a perfectly good album cover—and accidentally created one of the most ingenious packages in rock history. A failed movie in Morocco, a mysterious phrase scribbled in a notebook, psychedelic architecture, optical illusions, and a room that seems to open up as you unfold the jacket all came together to create The Low Spark of High Heeled Boys. Was it the first truly three-dimensional album cover? Maybe. Was it designed with altered minds in mind? You can decide. Grab a copy and listen along with us. Questions, comments, recommendations?
