Help help help! I've been seeking an album which I'm sure was progressive music from at least the '70's. I NEED to get it - frankly it was my favorite of hundreds of albums in the collection of an old boyfriend. His collection was eclectic - Boston, Yes, ELP, Kansas,CSNY, Gentle Giant, Crimson, Bohanssen, Ponty, Tangerine Dream, etc. At least that gives you a reference point. The album could not have been made later than 1984. Here is the description of the art work : (it is very distinctive, and I'm sure anyone who has it in their collection will immediately recognise it.)

Very VERY Yellow cover, mostly tones of yellow except for perhaps a skyline far in the background.

Two pillars of roman style (pale yellow) on either side, and a reclining child/god/person in a roman tunic rests his/her back against one of the pillars while sitting on a bench that stretches between the pillars. Blinding yellow light obsures the view of the person.

The ablum title refers to something having to do with the Temple of Childhood, or Joy, or Enlightenment. I cannot remember it for my life! (And it's driving me crazy.)

Let me know if you have an inkling of what group and album title this could be. Thanks.

THREE OF A PERFECT PAIR - King Crimson (1984) ? is what first comes to mind, but don't think it's the one you're asking for...




Marmalade...I like marmalade.

Poobah! Neither. But lovely covers, and great music. I love "Three of a Perfect Pair". It's one of my favorites.

Now who is Anthony Phillips?! Any good? I'll google it. :) Woo, Genesis. I'm going senile in my old age.

At least I can't see the picture, but here the entry from Progarchives:

The cover matches much to the description! Could it be it?

The same Maxfield Parrish painting was used as the cover to The Waking Hour by Dali’s Car.

Any other album covers using Maxfield Parrish art? As they all are rather similar to what was described above. Yes, I already know of Time Honoured Ghosts by BJH.
