EMI expressed great distain about the photpgraphs (there were many more photographs, than simply the one chosen for the album jacket). robert whitaker set the entire photo shoot up, the four Lads simply walked in, for the photo shoot. capitol records had to delay, capitol had to recall the first batch of albums. capitol ended up taking a loss over the actual album. HOWEVER,,,,, what was first named "Somnambulant Adventure" turned into the now famous "Butcher Cover". Sir Joseph Lockwood, ended up relishing and rejoicing about all the free advertising that the album generated, all because of the pictures. He commisioned 10 carvings to be done, however only 2 copies ever were completed. Cheers, and happy holidays.
