Insert

[4 pages, 1 sheet twice size of album sleeve, folded in half]

Font Cover (Page 1)

B/W photo of Mark in concert, spotlight just big enough for him and floor monitor. Flannel shirt, partially unbuttoned, with white tee, faded jeans (blue, I'm sure). Leaning slightly back and to his right, playing acoustic guitar (Martin, I think), singing into mic on floor stand. Mark has an intense expression, as he did when really into the music.

Inside (Pages2 and 3)

A series of questions and answers covering Mark's philosophy on art, Christian music, etc, and a series of reduced photographs showing Mark in the studio in front of a large mixing console (once with Larry Norman) and Mark in various places around Europe (mostly Switzerland and England, most likely).

Back Cover (Page 4)

White letters on black background, free form poem with observations from some time in one of Europe's underground subways. [I will type this in later, unless someone beats me to it.]

Cover Art

Front cover

Excellent B/W photo of Mark's face, with beginnings of a beard & moustache, thick, curly, dark hair (past shoulders in back), tweed (?) jacket over dark tee. Red letters with his name near top of photo, red shadowed letters with album name near lower right of photo. Dominoes frame the whole thing, with a 3/16" line-width square superimposed over the photo, about 1/4" in from the dominoes. A small Home Sweet Home logo appears in the lower left corner, inside the frames.

Back cover

Mark squatting in front of a [no parking?] sign between two sets of old, wooden, arched doors, on a cobblestone street or sidewalk. Tee and jeans, as usual. A row of dominoes in the act of falling runs across the bottom.
