What’s funny to me is that the first time I saw that cover, “Purple Haze” was my earworm for the rest of the day. (I LIVED for each new “Year’s Best Horror” collection, both for the great stories therein and for the equally enticing covers. I wouldn’t be the writer I am today if not for these, and for a bookseller in the late Eighties who encouraged my and others’ appreciation of good horror fiction.)
I know I used to have a cassette tape I picked up strictly for this album cover, but can’t for the life of me remember the name of the band. I dimly recall a metal cover of Eleanor Rigby, but I could be getting that confused with some other obscure album.

Thank you! That would have been bothering me all day.
