Comments and Reviews


henry29 4th Aug 2024		Anyone got, or seen a copy of this, with the original 3d sleeve. Has a A side Label, plays the A side. Has B side label, But plays Kenny Rogers?. H.



BrightonPunx 10th May 2021		Added Article about the inner sleeve from 'Sounds'.



BrightonPunx 15th Apr 2021		Added image of original inner sleeve.



TheDroid 14th Oct 2017		Well my my, need to notify Edgar Allan Poe to rectify on Friday the 13th!



ppint. 12th Oct 2017		thedroid: yr hmbl srppnt. regrets to having to advise that the cover image remains stubbornly stuck in only two of the three advertised dimensions. . .



TheDroid 11th Oct 2017		Added the 3D front cover and a back cover that includes the two record company type lines below the UA logo which appear cropped off on image #1168691. Added map of Australia version inner sleeve and clearer label images.



albert 23rd Sep 2017		The inner sleeve of initial copies also had a Gilliamesque caricature of Joh Bjelke-Petersen, notorious (allegedly) Governor of Queensland. The illustration used a map of Australia for his shorts, later copies just had the map of Australia and no caricature, and even later the whole illustration was removed. Oh, and just remembered that when the LP was released you could buy the regular cover or the 3D colour cover, but the 3D cover cost something like a quid more, they were released simultaneously. Also note that the 3D cover was produced for quite some time because not all of them have the inner sleeve with the withdrawn illustration.
