I played guitar and this is my last copy with this artwork. THE VINYL HAS NEVER BEEN PLAYED. All copies of the one-piece sleeve have been gone for some time. This one has the 2-piece sleeve. 500 records were pressed. The printer went bankrupt and was shut down with our original artwork for the sleeve inside. Rank somehow got the keys and we sneaked into the shop around 3 am, probably drunk. We were looking for the original artwork boards in the dark with a flashlight and there was our sleeve on the printing press. One copy was sticking halfway out of the roller like the power was shut off mid-run. We scooped up what we could and never finding the original art got the hell out of there. There were about 350 completed one-piece sleeves and about 150 with just the font. Of those we cut off the cover image from about 100 and a made the Xeroxed folding piece for the back and insides you see here. And that is why there are two sleeve variations out there. EXTRAS INCLUDE • Original 1982 square sticker that went out with copies sold at shows and via mail order. • A flyer I designed for a local Battle Creek show. • A photo of me from the shots that were taken for the sleeve art.
