Nice to know the cover is available in other versions, those reissues were seriously dull. Oh, I’ve seen that Hunt Emerson strip but had completely forgotten about it.

It was an Atlantic CD reissue (part of some anniversary series) and had the original cover design, which made it the first album I picked up despite the fact that I knew little about it at the time. Listening to it later I recognised 'Eat That Chicken' from an old Hunt Emerson comic. I went back pretty much every day and picked up some more Mingus. They were all behind glass, and when I asked the owner if I could have a look at them he would furrow his brow slightly and say "Mingoooos?", as though he'd forgotten who Mingus was (every time!). I built up a fairly healthy collection on that holiday...
