According to Mr. Haggerty - "The seed for the image came from a sketch by Mike Doud which was one of 20-30 comps we assembled to show the band...
After using a typical 'scrambled eggs hair' coffee shop waitress, we tried a more kitsch Vargas pin-up type, but with little success. It was the band that suggested we try a more 'unusual' type as a model.
From the model directories, they selected the woman whom we later christened 'Libby'. She went on their world tour, opening every show with the cry 'Welcome to Breakfast In America'...
For a your Brit with stars and stripes in his eyes who thought Ship's Coffee Shop was that most beautiful building he'd ever seen, to be given the theme of the American coffee shop was a dream come true!"
An album chock-full of hit songs - "The Logical Song", "Goodbye Stranger", "Take The Long Way Home" and the title track, this was Supertramp's commercial breakthrough, never to be equalled by the group again. Collectors, please note that Mr. Haggerty and his partner Michael Doud were recipients of the "Best Album Package" award at the 22nd Annual GRAMMY Awards. | | | |
