Anita Baker – Giving You The Best That I Got
Released: 1988
Label: Elektra/Asylum Records
Notes:
Front cover: This is in nice shape and it sounds amazing. The “audiophile” thing isn’t lie in the least bit. Getting the color balance on this one was a little tricky because of that shade of pink. Still, it wasn’t as hard as I thought it’d be. Beyond that and some light “cloning,” this was pretty easy to work with.
Sleeve-front: This is in really good shape so not difficult to deal with. The cut-out notch showed up here so I just “cloned” it out but this was simple. Amazing how well-preserved this is given that I’ve definitely played it.
Sleeve-back: Same thing here. Just got rid of the cut-out notch, “cloned” a little, and that’s it.
Back cover: Again, the cut-out notch. Beyond that, no cracks or anything. This is as it really looks.
Labels: There is a slight difference in color so I just decided to go with it this time. These are, of course, the promo labels. Simply scanned them and removed the spindle holes.
