Thirty one years ago (yesterday), Mount St. Helens blew its top. One year later, with volcanic ash still blanketing large swaths of the Pacific Northwest, the not-so-legendary Seattle trad-jazz combo the Uptown Lowdown Jazz Band issued the hardy-har titled Hauling Ash. That the LP failed to blow up on the national (or even local) scene can be attributed to multiple factors, including the man-made disaster of its horrendous cover. Which as you can see simply blows.

Oh man, that's tremendous. Did you score that thrifting?
Sure did. Just the other day, in fact.
Think you're right about the cover, they look like one of those wacky Christian apocolypse sects... Great find as always Mr. Ehrbar, you are my musical guru.
You are amazing.
