The cover is an inverted version of a painting by Barnett Newman from 1950 called "The Voice"...
Here it is...
It's apparently egg tempera and enamel on canvas, 8' 1/8" x 8' 9 1/2" (244.1 x 268 cm). It is held in the Sidney and Harriet Janis Collection but currently hangs in the MoMA in New York.
So Crispycat is now ready to release three CDs, "Through The Day" and the two below:-

..later on, Ian Sclater came by for an afternoon sesson from 12-5 to record some vocals for his CD, which we now hope to have ready by Christmas...
We managed to get some vocals done for seven tracks and so progressed the project substantially. We didn't work on any of the four songs I put backing tracks down for yesterday though, but I gave Ian a CD away with him of those pieces - and the disc also contains versions with me trying to sing them, which, if nothing else ought to bring a smile to his face...
In the evening to Anne's mum's and, after "Coronation St", we resurrect what used to be a fortnightly game of switch, until her nephew Craig took a strop because we let Anne's mum not have to pick up five cards for not saying "last card"...this will mean nothing to most of you of course...
Anne won five of the eight rounds and came out overall winner. Craig didn't win a game but took it in a more mature fashion than of old and, perhaps, this will become a bi-Sunday fixture once again. It's certainly a good laugh anyway...
Back home I give a listen through a couple of the tracks we did this afternoon. There's still a lot of work for me to do on my own with what's been recorded, and I spend a couple of hours cutting and pasting vocals and choosing best performances on just a couple of the songs...
On e-bay I win the new Steve Harley "Live at the Isle of Wight Festival" DVD, David Byron (from the mighty Uriah Heep)'s first solo album, "Take No Prisoners" (recorded around a year or so before he was sacked) and Three's "Three to the Power of Three" which is Emerson, Lake and Palmer, without Greg Lake but with US AoR stalwart, Robert Berry, taking his place for this one album. I used to have this CD and it's been acquired merely to complete the collection - I think I sold my previous copy in our record shop...
Tasty...
