Interesting cheesecake cover for this reissue of Tracy material which was released the year after he died at the age of 52.
Love this cover. The model is curiously "old" and I don't have any idea why Koala went with this image over any other cheesecake image as there is no connection between the cover and the material. The album contains some adult references, some off-color and politically incorrect jokes, but no bad language what-so-ever. It is not "XXX" by any means.
So it interesting to note the disclaimer on the back cover: The illustrations are a commercial concept for this album. Therefore we are unable to say that the illustrations represent a completely accurate presentation of the recording artist as he has or does now appear.
Scary cover in that, to me, upon first glimpse, I thought that model was, in fact, Gene Tracy and that he was a transvestite or something. Gene Tracy Cleans Up HIS Act and then that cover. I just thought that was HIM.
