I had a poster of this on my wall in college. I stared at it for years, endlessly fascinated. Not only is it a beautiful picture, but it ties in directly with one of the songs on the album.

The song, "Houdini", is about the magician Harry Houdini. He also spent a lot of his time debunking spiritual/mystical frauds. He arranged a secret code with his wife Bess so that if he could indeed communicate with her from beyond death that she'd know it was really him.

In the picture, Kate is Bess. She's got a key in her mouth because that's how Houdini would do his escape act. He'd kiss his wife before he went into the tank and she'd smuggle the key into his mouth.

All of this is brilliantly reflected in the lyrics to the song as well. ("With a kiss I'd pass the key, and feel your tongue teasing and receiving.")

If you do not know some of the required information, state that in either the title or top-level comment e.g. [Album Name - Author/s Name, Unknown Year]. The reason we ask for this information is that you can only search on the content of post titles, not comments.

➧5. No off-topic Content Never post anything that is off-topic (i.e. not album art) or that contains gory material.

➧6. No spam or reposts. Do not submit more than one of the same post/comment on this community or across multiple communities. In addition, please wait at least 3 months before reposting an image that has already been posted to c/albumartporn, and do not repost from the top of all time.

➧7. No advertisement or self-promotion. Do not use this subreddit to advertise or self-promote. This includes (but is not limited to) websites, articles, blog posts, and brands.

➧8. No memes, gifs, videos, audios. Just album covers

➧9. Tag NSFW Posts · Nudity: Obvious, implied or strategically covered · Content that is “sexually explicit” · Gore, both human and non-human.
