Release Notes

  • Label: Speed Of Light Records
  • Catalog#: TOL 88
  • Format: 7" vinyl single
  • Released: 1988


Remarks

  • All of these 7" vinyls come with a large centre-hole.
  • The cover consists of a folded glossy cardboard sleeve.
  • The front cover shows part of a painting from Dutch artist Edward Collier.
This work of art is a vanitas still life. Such still lifes were very fashionable
in the 16th and 17th century and meant to remind the beholder of the caducity of things and life.
The text on the paper in the picture is a Latin proverb: “HOMO EST SIMILIS BULLAE”
(Man is but a bubble), reflecting once again the main idea of the vanitas painting.
