The first cover:

Hope that it was not one of SY's aliens who was guilty!

Trio, or was one crucified.

God's on bass. He's hard to photograph. Need special filters.

"Jesus use me", it's hard to relate to what must be going through these people's minds.

Yup, it's pretty hard to comment on that series without navigating perilously close to NSFW territory - the beehive hairdos were certainly wa blast from the past, but the ventriloquist's dummies were downright creepy

Well, on a record (or in front of a big audience with no close-up cameras) they can't tell if you are any good at ventriloquism.

Why were christian records such fans of ventriloquists on the cover, who knows? Maybe they just showed up in the list because they always look creepy?

I suspect that it was because they imagined that the target market equally dumb. 😉
