Muddersten: Playmates
by Glenn Astarita
The amusing cover art is a take-off on a 16th and 17th century Flanders and Netherlands tradition of still life themes known as vanitas (vanity) paintings that basically portray aspects not deemed important when it comes down to living a fruitful life.

This octagonal space (pictured on the album cover, right) opened in 1971, a year after Mark Rothko's death.
