I'm for one, amazingly happy and so excited waiting for the re-release of the Fairytale, but out of curiosity - on the original sleeve, who is that with his head against the window?

I read several years ago that this picture was an almost exact duplicate of one taken of Sammy Davis Jr.....same location, same pose, and that some people got into some hot water.

Yes. Simon Ryan (Ryan Art) knows the full story but it is Spider and it is based on an image of Sammy Davis.

Wonderful picture DzM, thanks for digging that one up. And a brilliant choice indeed to modify for the Fairytale cover,

I saw Sammy Davis at Lansdowne Road, on the tour he did with Minnelli and Sinatra. Must have been one of his last ever shows, but even though he was ill, it was a really terrific performance. One of the greats.
