Any chance ol' Gary left that in there for me? Either way, love the attention to detail. Can't wait to see his unreleased album covers! Great video above, thanks for the post Thrasher, I noticed he speaks kinda like Neil, just in a different voice.

It's an odd cumbersome box just saying no big deal but as Neil & Ms Hannah are so environment conscious these days I'm sure he regrets the design now. Title for his next record WASTE.

What a great character. So interesting how tight the rock and roll community was in Laurel Canyon. RIP Gary Burden. I will be getting that book. <br /><br />Alan in SeattleAlanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11298964252699290436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5788213.post-89735845631819726952018-03-10T17:14:13.982-05:002018-03-10T17:14:13.982-05:00RIP to one of the most important fellow travelers ...RIP to one of the most important fellow travelers on Neil Young's journey. Just for the On The Beach cover alone, Gary Burden should be remembered and treasured by all Neil fans.<br /><br />I also loved his work on the Morrison Hotel album by The Doors. Some of my favorite pictures of Mr Mojo Risin were done during that session. Gary also did the cool cover for the first Crazy Horse album, Richie Cruzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15867693870535775408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5788213.post-69452082818885070242018-03-10T15:42:14.636-05:002018-03-10T15:42:14.636-05:00Thanks So Tired!

Mainly link sharing stuff.<br /><br />But we did have a bit of back & forth over the Psych Pill cover art. There were those who felt the artwork didn't match up to the music.
