Album cover description
The front cover of this album shows a figure in black, standing in front of a building bearing the legends "Stedelijke Academie voor Schone Kunsten" and "Stedelijke Conservatorium voor Muziek, Woord en Dans". As such, this building can be identified as the Municipal Academy of the Fine Arts and the Municipal Museum/Conservatory for Music, Word and Dance in Hasselt, approximately 20 minutes walk from the Kunstencentrum Belgie where the Hasselt Saturday performance took place. The identification of the front cover location can be further evidenced by photographs of the Conservatorium Muziek, Woord en Dans, which show the same building as that on the cover.External links
