The used copy I bought (many years ago) had the record in a plain white die-cut sleeve inside the "newspaper" cover. Can someone if it was originally sold that way?
-
I bought my first copy of this new with no picture sleeve in the mid-80s. It had a fade-out rather than a locked groove on the b-side. When I 'upgraded' to a newspaper sleeve later, I got rid of it. Now I can't find a 1980s copy with a Cowboy Song that fades out! Can anyone point me at this particular variant? -
Thanks Kruisspin, I have owned this since released, never knew that! I had just accepted it as avant-garde racket. And appreciated the irony of a racket entitled "Cowboy Song" - as I'm not a country music fan. A-side is, of course, an awesome piece of work.
