The artwork:
ANDY VELLA (parched art) about the cover of The Top:
At the time they were creating The Top, I just had learned how to make
wood engraving. In my flat there were terrific tiles on the floor. And
one night I torn up the whole kitchen floor and engraved the pictures
and symboles into the back of those tiles. For the lyrics on the insert
card I carved some wood, dipped into ink and wrote with this. You don't
see it on the printing but it was very important for the feeling.
an anomaly, it just sticks out on it's own. I don't know what was going on. It's fucking deranged.
I need other people around. On the Top, it was just Lol and Andy and I played everything except drums and it was the worst record we've ever made. There was no input or criticism of anything.
