Joe Jackson – I’m the Man (7-inch promo boxset)
Released: 1979
Label: A&M Records
Notes:
Front cover: Amazing what happens when you look in the strange places of a record store. I came across this a couple of nights ago at one my usual haunts. It was sealed and pristine so this was pretty easy.
Back cover: The back did need color replacement because even the cellophane couldn’t the back free of rub marks. It’s been sealed for 35 years. No big surprise and easy to remove.
Promo sticker: This sticker was exposed to the elements but, still, it looks pretty good. Minor scuff removal but nothing major.
Poster: Yep, a full poster. It’s in great shape but it’s been folded all this time so I did need to replace coloring of the letters and the main background. Of course, this will open up far larger than the window will allow. Just right-click it after it’s open and select “open in new tab/window”.
Sleeves: Each one is nearly perfect. The ones with the numbers were generally off-balance and they had to be fixed.
Labels: Again, each one nearly pristine. Minor scuffing from being packaged for over 30 years but nothing severe. You’ll also note that I left the spindle holes as there’s no way to remove them.
