an ugly collage, no doubt about it..but I enjoyed making it. So even as an exercise in ugliness, I am happy that I saw this one through.
Let's not get confused about anything though. I ain't a hater of the Vanilla Fudge LP on which this collage was founded. Rather, it was a tarnished (heavily tarnished) LP that I bought at a record shop in NYC for $0.50, long after hearing the album, and the LP jacket split in half when I opened it at home. At that point what is the cover but a prime surface for creative impulse? It was protecting a record that was already banged up. Ugly record + ugly jacket made uglier = blowing off some creative steam while working on "serious" art projects. Far out.
