28th August 2012 - Our very own AMIT member Rail King asked Guy Fletcher:
Hey Guy - in the German edition of "Rolling Stone" magazine, I read that Mark bought that van for the Privateering album cover, and that the cover pic was shot on his own land. True?
G. Fletcher's answer:
Mark did buy the van specifically for the photo-shoot and we are using it to cart the back-line gear around Europe for the European tour (2013). I believe Mr. saggers has offered to drive.
I interpreted that as pure sarcasm - or as a try to be funny...
On 8th September 2012, Dan SW3 (also AMIT member??) asked about the album cover:
So can you now reveal the story behind it?
Guy Fletcher's answer this time:
Not much of a story, Mark bought a van, removed a wheel or two and put it in a field to 'age' a bit. The a photographer came along. The van will be used at some point I'm sure.
Is anyone else also irritated by these two answers?
