The message from Scott Rhodes rises higher:
CR> Did you hear the story behind that cover? This comes from an
CR> interview with Jon Anderson that I have on tape somewhere. He said
CR> that at the time they were not a happy band. The cover had been
CR> designed to have something called a "Tor" on it (something like the
CR> Egyptian pyramids)
SR> Actually, a tor is simply a type of hill.
Jon mentions that there is apparently one of these tors called 'Yes
tor'. I dunno. I know nothing about it.
CR> and a man with devining rods looking for water or
CR> "magical things", as Jon put it.
SR> Typical Jon Anderson.
CR> Someone in the band was upset at the
CR> time and threw a tomato at the cover.
SR> Probably Wakeman. :-)
If it was Wakeman he would've thrown meat at the cover ;-)
