Just recently learned that this gatefold version of Jailbreak exists, and now I kinda want it.

I've got this and it plays fine despite the shape.
I like it, back in the day when I was hitting all the local record stores and swap meets, I don't recall seeing this one.

So kicking myself for being "too cool" and giving away all of my "hippie" records 40+ years ago. I really wish I still had my two Alice Cooper albums, "Schools Out" album & "Billion Dollar Babies".
Schools Out" jacket was a school desk with legs and a top that opened up as well as a "special record cleaning cloth" inside.
"Billion Dollar Babies" was a snakeskin wallet with a large fake dollar bill with the bands faces printed on it.

Bad picture, kind of cut off Decca on the jacket. Got this one a very long time ago, made in Holland.

I'm not sure if the UK release was on purple vinyl, but when I bought this US version, I was pretty excited because of the colored vinyl, but also because it came with a "export only" 12" EP of for live songs - I.O.D., Lady Esquire, Blues & Young Criminals.
This is the stuff you just don't get out of a CD jewel box or digital download, so much more to look at and read while your listening to the records.

I'm slowly filing and organizing my vinyl collection so I'll snap some photos as I find neat stuff. Here's a fave, one of the greatest records of all time in a sharp looking colored vinyl.

A zillion year ago I had this. Despite seemingly tied to the Album era, it was a Flowers of Romance interview with Lydon and Levene. My recollection is that it was also an especially zilchsicle of an interview.

Yeah, like that vinyl a lot! Looking forward to seeing what else you've got.

Now that looks very rare, I tried to look it up on the net, couldn't find anything on it.

I think I still have an mp3 rip of it. But 18-year-old me got take for $50 or so and I have no idea what happened to it. I'm guessing I sold it at a considerable loss.

Too bad, as I mentioned in an earlier post, I've grown up a bit and would love to be able to get back a lot of my older stuff that I wasn't interested in at the time. I try not to think about how much it's worth, just kills me I was so dumb.

Time for some more LA vinyl
F-Word featuring front man Rik L. Rik (Elerick) recorded live at Mabuhay Gardens, SF, CA in 1978. Recorded in mono, but a fun, live listen none the less.

Lots of test pressings and promo vinyl with presser sheets.

Two will be of interest to the board.
