Rendered in gouache, oil paint, and pen and ink, this work depicts an elaborate airplane with an attached banner reading "After Bathing at Baxter's" as it flies over a dump. According to an article found on the internet, the airplane is "a whimsical re-imagining of the group's Haight-Ashbury house on Fulton Street, depicted as a Heath Robinson-inspired flying machine soaring about the chaos of American commercial culture." This is the actual artwork created by Ron Cobb [former Walt Disney studio artist turned cartoonist, writer, film designer, and director] for the band to use as the front and back images for their third album; his signature of "R Cobb" is penned on the lower center margin. Included is the 1967 record and jacket showing how Cobb's work translated to the album cover, a CD of the album, and some paperwork explaining the significance of this record and its album artwork.
