Alex Colville's Horse and Train

~ from Bernie Finkelstein, "Sadly the great Canadian painter Alex Colville died on July 16, 2013. As many of you may know Alex kindly let Bruce use his painting Horse and Train for Bruce's 1973 release Night Vision. I've just dug up a picture of Bruce and Alex receiving their gold records for Night Vision in 1974. Also in the picture is yours truly Bernie Finkelstein, CBS Records president Terry Lynn and CBS marketing director Bill Bannon. This was a great day as it was Bruce's first gold record and to share it with Alex Colville was a terrific honour both both Bruce and myself."
