I don't own this album sadly but spotted it in the racks of the record shop that I briefly worked in a few years back. It's a classic of the genre with well maintained shrubs and those Lords sure have groovy jackets. Here's another photo from the shoot.

When I first bought Roots, Curtis Mayfield's second LP about ten years ago I was a little slow to notice these were actual tree roots he was posing with & thought the title just referred to Roots music perhaps. Silly Tim, it's a shrubcore classic.
