Not for nothing, but does anyone else find it a bit dodgy for a multinational mega corporation to appropriate the image of the leader of a Central American peasant uprising to sell their products?
Didn't I read somewhere that Kosmo had a hand in designing the cover?

It's a common font, but seeing "If Music Could Talk" rendered like that made me do a double-take.

I find it harder to believe it’s a coincidence. No doubt Kos has been on this site.

I hope he found out I named my cat after him.
There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

It’s a different label maker font used, but yeah, wow.

I stopped by the local record store today just to see if they had anything that didn't get sold out last Saturday and imagine my surprise when I found 4 copies of this! Needless to say, they now have 3 copies left in stock.

Done.

Nice! Congratulations. I missed the boat yesterday, my knee just wasn't up to standing in line for a couple of hours.
Plenty for sale on ebay.

Saw that too, but really wanted to support a local store, so I felt very fortunate today to have found one. I wasn't even sure if they have received any copies of it, guess it wasn't as hot of an item as I thought it would have been.

I think there will be loads left. I was considering getting it. But it's really nothing new for me.
So I've bought the Jerry Dammers Ghost Town demo 10" and the TV Smith and Kid Strange unreleased 1978 album instead.

Shoot, I never saw the Jerry Dammers or I would have jumped on it. Looking on line, I'm wondering if it was a UK / Europe RSD release, I can't find it listed in the states, but it's on e-bay now, but none locally, all from overseas.
