Quote from the cover back:
For your information: "Ivar L. was a young Swedish man in the 19th century.
He killed his really loved son, he didn´t want him to suffer from being alive.
Later on he killed himself when he realised that there was no more reason to live.
This record is dedicated to Gustave."
