I don't know any particular story for this cover. But each cover is sort of its own mystery. Mick is pretty tall so it balances out the photo to have John lower. The previous cover (Heroes) has Mick horsing around in underwear.
I do love the mystery behind album covers. I watched a full 60 minute segment once on all the secrets and hidden meanings on Michael Jackson's Dangerous album. I love the 1990 BTM album cover. The band could not even explain it except they gave the painter full imagination to interpret the band through his own work. I think its brilliant and one of my favorite Fleetwood Mac covers. I love Mystery To Me which is another conversation piece. Bare Trees is great too. Rumous is awesome and I even love Tusk. Tusk looks like an album cover of a punk rock band. Mirage is beautiful. The only Mac album cover I don't like is Tango. Its stale and boring and almost copyright violation if it was not pre-approved. Not much imagination into it. One cover that does not get the attention it deserves is the 1980 Live album. The front cover is top 3 favorite Mac covers. How long did it take people to realize some members are facing the other way. Simple yet brilliant effect while the band is on stage for a live album cover.
