A portrait done in craft perfection displays an extraordinary Artist. Unfortunately only a very few people are familiar with him, but his unique songs are better known. This song for instance has been covered with Enlish lyrics by David Bowie. I really love this kind of record covers. They are of a high quality standard, made out of cardboard, laminated (the front side), with an excellent print. They are something quite special, made with the claim to good quality which we have lost in today's time, that is obviously aimed exclusively on profit maximization.
