Turns out they not only have some of the pics inside with the liner notes, but also an explanation of the location: "The album's cover photos were snapped at (lead singer) Jim Sebastian's uncle's mansion in Johnsburg, Illinois. This amazing house, which includes an indoors 18-foot waterfall with an enclosed bar underneath (the guys are surrounding the falls on the front cover pic) was featured in a Playboy magazine spread in 1967." That same uncle is the one who financed the record, fronting $400 for the band to record it in Christmas 65 when they were home from college. I don't have the 1967 Playboy (jab, maybe that's your department), but here are scans of the tiny pics from inside the cd liner. -Randy
