The images chosen for the album cover also imply in subtle ways that a story is being told. The front cover features Kurt and Lori presented as a young couple in love, perhaps newly engaged or married, celebrating with Ike in a club. On the back, we see them at the beach in the surf, appearing as though they might be involved in some sort of purification or rebirth ritual.

As it turns out, none of this narrative was intentional, but it is there nonetheless. The album was simply a labor of love designed to give their audiences a way to take home the band's most well-received tunes at their many nightclub gigs.

Despite this, we would like to share with you the "concept" we see in the album.

The Concept
The album opens with Candyman, a song of optimism and innocence, with Kurt on lead vocals. Here he happily invites anyone willing to come share his treats with him.

This is followed by a very sensual rendition of Agua De Beber sung by Lori. Kurt has attracted Lori with the first song, and a love affair has begun by the second. Perhaps they are now husband and wife.
