Inside the image.

A square cover combines a wide dark blue-purple title panel at the top with a colour photograph of a rural landscape below. The photograph centres on a compact village nestled among green hills and fields. Seen from an elevated viewpoint, clusters of pale houses with dark roofs gather around a winding road that enters near the lower centre and curves through the village. Trees and hedges fill the foreground and divide the fields; farther back, patchwork farmland climbs gently towards a low, uneven horizon beneath a pale, lightly clouded sky.

The landscape photograph occupies a central rectangular area, beginning just below the title panel and extending almost to the bottom edge. Enlarged, pale and softly faded extensions of the same scene flank it on the left and right, creating a layered frame: indistinct houses and greenery are visible through a milky, semi-transparent wash. The central image is more saturated and sharply defined by comparison, with deep leafy greens, brighter fields and small white buildings. A narrow dark line borders its lower edge. The overall effect is of a photograph set within a blurred, washed-out enlargement of itself.

The upper panel is a flat, saturated indigo-purple rectangle. Large pale lettering dominates it: “BRO” sits above and slightly left of “ALED”, with the latter spanning much of the panel’s width. The letters are slender, high-contrast serif capitals with fine outlines or shadowed edges that give them a layered appearance. Smaller turquoise sans-serif capitals reading “MALE VOICE CHOIR” are centred beneath the title. At the upper left, a much smaller line of pale text reads “CÔR MEIBION”. Below the panel, across the top of the landscape photograph, “SEINIAU HIRAETHOG” appears in large, pale blue-grey serif capitals, aligned near the centre. The typography is carefully stacked, with the broad title panel contrasting against the detailed rural view. The image is photographic, with no visible figures; fine detail in the landscape is softened by the cover’s low resolution and the faded side treatment.
