secret garden @handandknee - Tumblr Blog

Throwing Muses. Very rare press ad for the 4AD releases of the Counting Backwards EP and The Real Ramona album, showing an alternate cover designed by Dave Narcizo before changing it to the one we know.

In his own words: "That’s a collage I made out of cuttings from a stack of Arizona Highways magazines I found in the dump yard next to City Gardens (venue in NJ). Once Kristin unearthed that pic of her grandmother we changed course."

From The Catalogue magazine, circa fall of 1990.
