Bay of Kings
Bay of Kings is the seventh studio album from English guitarist Steve Hackett, released in October 1983 on Lamborghini Records. His first album consisting entirely of instrumental classical guitar music, Hackett's former record company Charisma Records refused to release it over concerns about its commercial viability. Hackett left the label and released Bay of Kings through independent record company Lamborghini Records, started by Patric Mimran who owned the said car company at that time. It was later reissued by Hackett's own label, Camino Records. His wife at the time, Kim Poor, originally painted a nude portrait for the cover, but it was replaced for the Camino reissue by a painting of her husband.

gollark: * https://tty0.xyz/emuwar/ and some of the things it documents *may* not actually exist.
gollark: There's actually an Emu War game by <@!332271551481118732> on my website, though it doesn't have much to do with the real emu wars.
gollark: Sure, my phone might be the weight of several bricks now, but at least I don't have to worry about battery charge.
gollark: Ah, I checked the original and apparently he elected to not include cladding because it's for losers, makes sense.
gollark: The only problem I can see with this is that PuCube™ isn't sealed off from the tea, and plutonium is, if I remember right, horribly toxic even apart from the radioactivity thing.
