Cover
During the summer of 1965, Barrett had his first acid trip in the garden of friend, Dave Gale, with Ian Moore and Storm Thorgerson. While on the influence of the acid, Barrett had placed an orange, plum and a matchbox into a corner, while staring at the fruit, which he claimed symbolized "Venus and Jupiter". Thorgerson later used this imagery, by adding the previously mentioned items to the cover of Syd Barrett.

“If I use the media, even with tricks, to publicise a black youth being shot in the back in Teaneck, New Jersey ... then I should be praised for it, and it’s more of a comment on them than me that it would take tricks to make them cover the loss of life.”
—Al, Rev. Sharpton (b. 1954)
“Many count on their disadvantages to cover for them.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
