Pretty good record, though. It's Lloyd doing all Hendrix covers.

...that is bad to a degree that I did not previously believe existed.

From billy g's post in the NP thread, apparently it's LLoyd's face superimposed on top of this:



Which is apparently the only album from a "Hendrix-influenced power trio" from the early '70s.

According to the liner notes, Lloyd met Hendrix through Velvert, who was a friend of Jimi's. So that is certainly where it came from. (I thought it was Lloyd's face superimposed on Jimi's too.)
