About this cover Leonard writes:

"When Leanne saw the photo I took of Sharon and myself, she said, 'That's a picture of two people with one mind.' Given her stunning contribution to Ten New Songs, it was necessary, just, and appropriate that Sharon appear on the cover. Otherwise, Nova, my daughter's dog, would have been featured; even though nobody really liked it but Kelley, Lorca and me. The people at Sony thought I 'must be kidding.' Nova will have her day."

"Here is another cover I didn't use. 'Woman Reclining on a Sphinx' is a drawing of a small plaster statuette which has been on my desk in Montreal for twenty-five years."
