Album cover description

The front cover of this album shows a figure in black standing by a waterfront. This location has been identified by a Jandek list member as being taken on Pohjoisranta, looking towards Laivastokatu on the Katajanokka peninsula.[2] The same member also provided a photograph taken in this location from the same angle as that on the front cover.[3]
