Compilation albums are seldom very good, but this one I like a lot, partly for Val Denham's cover art. What is this fucked-up businessman on? He doesn't look at all well, and what is the significance of 'Elita' written in the mosaic floor? Maybe we will never know. I can't really say that much about it other than it's great art from a great artist. I have a huge poster of this pinned to my studio ceiling.
