After an in-depth research, I think I can named the man that hides behind the mask. Several clues were helpful, but the most convincing is the comparison between the picture found on the record front sleeve [see 45cat] and the picture of Harold Streibich, a music attorney from Memphis,Tennessee, who also happens to be the founder (or co-founder) of Il Gatto Music the publisher of Zoom, Zoom, Zoom. Same facial morphology, prominent cheekbones, thick chin and neck.

According to an article published by Billboard (March 29, 1969) :
Harold Streibich co-founded in 1979 the High Water Recording Company :
A graduate of the University of Virginia law school, where he was a classmate of the late Robert Kennedy, Streibich has his fingers in many musical pies. He also dabble in politics, and just recently was named one of the five members of the State Athletic Commission. More than an attorney, Streibich is a salesman. He believes in Memphis - every square inch of it. He extols the virtues to every visitor, takes individuals, or groups on sight-seeing (at his own time and expense), and spares nothing
which corresponds fairly well to his participation in a record intended to promote a (planned) Hall Of Fame, which was perhaps a project launched by the Memphis Music Association referred in the following article published by Billboard (April 27, 1968).
Harold Streibich co-founded in 1979 the High Water Recording Company :
The High Water Recording Company was founded by Dean Richard Ranta, Dr. David Evans and the late Harold Streibich in 1979, as part of The University of Memphis’ College of Communication and Fine Arts. High Water was modeled after Sun Records, producing records by a younger generation that was previously unknown. High Water recorded artists such as R.L. Burnside, Junior Kimbrough, and Jessie Mae Hemphill.
