CR> Did you hear the story behind that cover? This comes from an

Actually, a tor is simply a type of hill.

Typical Jon Anderson.
CR> Someone in the band was upset at the

Probably Wakeman. :-)
CR> The band decided to take a

Interestingly, Rolling Stone described the cover as looking like critics
had gotten ahold of it before the shrinkwrap was put on. It seems that
for once, RS actually said something vaguely resembling the truth.
