Photography: Ed Caraeff

Cover Concept: Chick Corea

Art Direction: Mike Doud

Design and Lettering: Mike Manoogian

Notes: A clever album based upon Lewis Carroll's tales of wonder. Although "The Trial" can get a bit grating the rest of the album showcases Chick's finger work on various keyboards. And it never hurts to have friends like Herbie Hancock stop by for a bit of music. A departure from his work with Return to Forever, but altoghther enjoyable. And Chick even gets all dressed up for the cover shoot.
