ABOUT THE COVER ART
The album cover features the 1961 painting Annunciation by German-French painter Mati Klarwein.[6] According to the artist, it was one of the first paintings he did after relocating to New York City. Carlos Santana reportedly noticed it in a magazine and asked that it be on the cover of the band's upcoming album.[7] On the back of the record sleeve the cover art is just credited to 'MATI'. It is now considered a classic of rock album covers.[6][8][9] Klarwein went on to design album artwork for many notable artists, including Miles Davis, Herbie Hancock, Earth, Wind & Fire, and Gregg Allman.
When Manticore Records went defunct in 1977, Atlantic Records reissued the album with the initial design as well as with an ordinary vinyl packaging[nb 4], which consisted of simple non fold-out outer and inner sleeves. The 'face' painting was used as the back cover of the outer sleeve.
