Their "somewhere/someplace" is a good answer, but wouldn't they have imagined someplace nicer without garbage pails?

I also open this discussion up to other misleading album covers or logos.

The OBC album cover of "Annie" has the cartoon Annie standing there among the bubble letters of her name and depicted as (gasp!) blonde.

Hey, wait a minute!! Henry Higgins never strings Eliza up and manipulates her like a marionette! When does that happen in the musical????

Haha - but that's not misleading. Shaw (or is it God as he is drawn) is manipulating Higgins as to what he says and does, and so does Higgins in turn do to Eliza. Well, until she rebels and starts to change/possibly manipulate him in turn. I don't know anyone who has included a marionette show as part of any version of "My Fair Lady", but hey they have crossdressing men in "Get Me To the Church on Time" in this production so anything is possible!

I think the image of garbage-strewn streets gives record buyers an idea of the show’s rough-and-tumble setting while, at the same time, foregrounding the idealized love represented by Tony and Maria (“love blooming in the slums,” if you will). Come to think of it, that paradox actually makes the album cover work better for me.
