I remember looking through this and the accompanying booklet when I was a kid and figuring out that none of their guitars were plugged in. The whole thing was staged for a photo shoot! That was the day my innocence died.

I first saw this gatefold when I was 11/12. It knocked me out. Thinking how seeing a band in concert, on stage like that. Would be cooler than kool aid. But I look at it now & think it is all one big mock up.
The gatefold of Blue Cheer's InsideOutside is pretty cool. The band on stage with the Marshall stacks behind them.
Well, yeh. It is an amazing picture. You are right. I didnt mean to say it was trash. Only that it looked like a mock up.
I love these "stage" inner gatefolds. This one from BOC's On Your Feet or On Your Knees always cracks me up:
I like the inner sleeve to Tales From Topographic Oceans. I think Steve Howe took some of the nature photos that were included.
