They must have been tripping. I don´t know what kind of weed those cats at the art department smoked but it must have been massive. How in the world can someone come up with a cover art like this for some of the best Romantic music ever written? Is there a symbolism we don´t understand, some secret code or is it just one of the most radical jokes ever to see the light of advertising? Imagine the art direction guy getting into the office of Mr. Chairman of Westminster Record presenting the layout of the cover? 

AD GUY

Her´s the new cover design, how do you like it?

CHAIRMAN

(slightly irritated)

What is it?

AD GUY

A foto.

CHAIRMAN

I can see that, but why the eggs?

AD GUY

You said, „covers should have a meaning“.

CHAIRMAN

What´s the meaning of fried eggs?

AD GUY

(pondering)

They are tasteful. Like the music.

CHAIRMAN

You think people who wanna buy music by Brahms will like it?

AD GUY

I don´t know.

CHAIRMAN

You think Brahms liked fried eggs?

AD GUY

I don´t know.

CHAIRMAN

But why did you do it then?

GUY

Didn´t you say it is a cover for a budget line?

MR.

And?

GUY

Well, it´s like a breakfast special, two eggs any style, a lot of Brahms for 1,99$!
