Very nice album covers.
While I attended VU & CU, not the University of Cincinnati, I noticed something strikingly familiar; the top album cover shows McMicken Hall, a relative named Charles McMicken provided an 1852 endowment enabling the City of Cincinnati to establish the educational institution now known as the University of Cincinnati.
Possibly he is embarking from Ohio?
Pate was based in Chicago, where I believe this album was recorded. This may have been the nearest place for the photo shoot.
