The band teamed up with famous artist David Edward Byrd. With Byrd handling the concept, design, and art direction, the result was the band's most artistic tourbook yet. Clocking in at 20 pages, this tourbook measures 11" x 14' and is full color throughout. Features both live and off-stage photos of the band during the 1980 tour. Each band member has their own two-page spread, with the artwork representative of their own distinct personas: Dave's spread features cocaine, martini's, McDonalds hamburgers, shakes, and fries; Ed's depicts the guitarist in a desolate city-scape with guitars scattered about: Mike's layout consists of topless bars and jack Daniel's; Al finds himself in a jungle with wild animals all around.This tourbook is now incredibly rare and it is a miracle that we have any to offer in mint condition. Limited supply. Choose a condition: 1) "Mint": These are in absolutely perfect condition because they were sealed in plastic immediately after the tour, and have been stored carefully ever since. 2) "Fair": These are leftover from Tower Record's stock from the mid '80s. The program has been handled and simply looks "used" from being a display item at Tower Records.
