Seven months after my sending, Captain Fantastic & The Brown Dirt CowBoy was released on May 19, 1975.
It was with great excitement and curiosity that I discovered the album, certainly one of Elton John's most beautiful and moving outputs.
I also discovered its cover sleeve, and of course the painting that adorned it, created by the British artist Alan Aldridge (album's sleeve here)
Below, my own creation from 1974, reproduced after the photo's negative taken that year before the original was sent to John Reid’s office in London.
