Didn't I read somewhere that Kosmo had a hand in designing the cover?

Goldmine article by Kosmo Vinyl about making 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.
There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

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.

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.Marky Dread wrote: ↑19 Jul 2021, 4:22pmPlenty for sale on ebay.

I think there will be loads left. I was considering getting it. But it's really nothing new for me.Sparky wrote: ↑19 Jul 2021, 4:36pmSaw that too, but really wanted to support a local store, so I felt very fortunate today to have found one.

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.Marky Dread wrote: ↑19 Jul 2021, 5:10pmI think there will be loads left.

Does anyone know if the interviews from this are streaming anywhere online?
