Actually no. This time I was wrong. See Dean's post above. I didn't know that about the postcards or that he mentioned it in his book.

^ I didn't forget, but the Metallica has a subtle logo on the cover. And actually there is a Beatles Black Album ~

Just dug out a copy of Views in a second hand book shop a couple of weeks back. $15 CAN almost mint. Had a copy years ago but lent it out and never got it back . A lot of things are revealed here if you can get a copy. Not sure what the " fair " market price is on the internet but I know it isn't something that pops up every day. I found this one hiding in a stack of old music magazines. Used to have a few posters but the only one I have left is the flying elephants from the second Osibisa album ( sans logo ). It's rolled up in the closet.

Coincidence?... I don't think so ( in fact I don't believe in coincidences ), specially in terms of prog rock , where ... imagination and thoughts are very important !!!

Spinal Tap's Smell the Glove and Prince's Black Album also line up perfectly. It's uncanny.
