Hope all is well, Dennis. Here's one I didn't see covered in your book. Do you recall any reactions to the Love it to Death cover image being cropped for a short time?
PS - Yes, those are my albums, and yes, a lot of the covers are destroyed. I prefer to say that they've been (ahem) loved to death.

It was a quick way to eliminate the "thumb" without paying for, and waiting for, an artist to touchup the photo.

Re: WS 1883
I remember how fascinated my friend was when my eyes lit up when I lifted the "Thumb" cover from a junk collection he had just acquired. My copy was in fine (retouched) shape, on the Warner/straight Label so I took a picture (or 2) & gave it back to him because the LP (& cover for the most part) were in bad shape.
Thanks Dr. D!

I found my "white band" at a record store 13 years ago for $2. I'd known about it for some time, but I'd never really thought about having it. Then, bang! There it was. The record is beat, and the cover is too. It's truly just a curiosity, but to me it's a real slice of history.Daggers & Contracts wrote: ↑Tue Apr 18, 2023 4:02 pmI remember how fascinated my friend was when my eyes lit up when I lifted the "Thumb" cover from a junk collection he had just acquired.

Re: WS 1883
On the two LITD albums I had ( I also was rough on my records, playing them to death!) and the CD, the thumb is missing. Oddly enough, when I got the album on cassette, the thumb was there in all its glory! Maybe it was deemed small enough to not be noticible.
