Any one know if this the only release in any format of "Curtis" to include the demo tracks? Checked through the cd releases and this seemed to be the only cd to include them. -
Edited 4 years agoThe cover of this Mayfield album always intrigued me. As far as I can guess it looks as if he's sitting on a beach, but it could also be the top of a wall, and if you look closely, you can see tiny bits and pieces of buildings, far away in the background. So the question is: where was this front cover shot taken?
