Description:
Featured on the album cover of "King Eric and his Knights" (recorded 1960) is the Ba Ma Room of the Windsor Inne (yes that's the correct spelling), Nassau Bahamas. This tiki bar also featured the "Waterfalls Patio" outside, with waterfalls and lush tropical vegetation.

The bar has a very "Don the Beachcomber" look.

The odd part is this was this bar was attached to a King Arthur themed English restaurant.

Here is a link to the text on the back of the album, with the story of the restaurant and bar.
