The College Years

This is the cover art for the Ashtray Prophets' first anthology, entitled "The College Years". The artwork was based on an idea from Berdy, who suggested that having God pass a lit cigarette to Adam would be highly symbolic.

This album was a collection of "boom-box demos", recorded with the built-in condensor microphone on JK's boom box tape recorder, and it spans the 5 years of recordings made while the artists were still in college. These recordings were rescued from multiple cassette tapes when MH aggregated and digitized them in his home studio, re-mastering the recordings with much of the tape hiss and noise reduced.
