Cover Art: Brand X - Moroccan Roll

Artist: Brand X

Title: Moroccan Roll

Date: 1977

Label: Passport Records PP 98022

Sleeve Design: Hipgnosis/Hardie

Cover Photograph: Hipgnosis

Group Photos: Rob Brimson

Notes: Along with Genesis in the "art-rock, progressive" crowd there was Brand X. Phil had hair and everything back then too. This is a bit of progressive play that the 70's was known to produce in vast quantities. Nothing earth-shattering here, but a pleasant album it is. The front cover illustration is draped in intrigue. The back cover photos are just plain scary.
