Notes

A Mike Steyn production.

Recorded live just after the Annual General Meeting of the North West Regional Group of British Junior Chambers of Commerce at the Almond Brook Restaurant, Standish, near Wigan, October 1968, except for A3 & B1 which were recorded at a meeting of the Congleton Round Table, May 1967.

Title of B5 is as given on sleeve: the rear sleeve bears the warning: "Caution! The last track on Side 2 is not for the squeamish. Blaster's vocabulary is unrestrained - but necessary to the story".

ppint. 27th May 2021		@thejudge: it looks very like the edge of the card sleeve's gloss lamination, carried on from what would become the front once the card is folded. the dark vertical line is the result of dust, dirt off hands etc. adhering to the very edge of the lamination. the margin or overlap of the lamination on my copy's sleeve is much smaller - about a centimetre - but it's picked up a near-identical dust & dirt line - just nowhere near as far across. mine also doesn't bear the added warning regarding the nature of the final track; second, decorated design label matrix numbers: B B- + 0 0 + 0 3 + A / B B + 0 0 + 0 3 + B 2 (the "-" after side 1's second "B" is raised almost to the level of the top of the letter)
kab2112 SUBS 6th Feb 2017		Sorry it's taken so long to respond, but I've only just noticed this comment. The "seam" is actually a mark that runs down the length of the back cover. In actual fact there is no flip seam.
TheJudge 28th Oct 2014		kab2112, I've moved my front cover scan to the top simply because it matches the label logo on the first set of images. Does your rear cover actually have the flip seam that far across, or is that a scanning/stitching artefact? Mine doesn't reach anywhere near the text. If it's also a variant, I'll scan mine.
