My thanks to Gerolf T'Hooft for sending me the following tidbit of information.

"The Dutch TV-magazine "VPRO-Gids" has a review of Jeff Wagner's recently published book Mean deviation - four decades of progressive heavy metal.

The author of the review (Oliver Kerkdijk) considers ITCOTCK the ultimate
reference point of the genre. The article shows a nice photograph of the
Venal Leader in his early years with a nice insert of the ITCOTCK album
sleeve."
