Did anyone else notice this........ever?

I love the look of early computer-generated imagery. It's clumsy and raw, everything digital art has, in these Maya dominated times, swung away from. This is a spotty record featuring alot of very bad sax playing which I left out of my East-coast Post-Punk special. It has one highlight, a tune written and sung by Gordon's collaborator Arthur Russell, called "That Hat." I've been dismissive of this track before (scraping the Arthur Russell barrel blah blah blah) but actually it's wicked.

On the paper insert that comes with my record there is a photo of Peter Gordon:

He looks quite the sultry young egg-head. Boy genius, not. Look closer at that perfectly shaved dome:

If that isn't a mosquito snacking on his grey matter! You see you've got to pay attention, or you miss these things.
