Justin Timberlake – Justified
Released: 2002
Label: Jive/Zomba Recording Corporation
Notes:
Front cover: This is perfect. I’m the original owner and I take care of my records so there’s that. The scanner wanted to make the contrast more intense so I had to back it off manually at the scan stage. That was the only minor difficulty.
Gatefold-1: This was difficult to scan properly because there’s puckering where the records had been. I always scan album covers with the albums removed but the puckering remained. I had to stack books on top of those areas when scanning to make the scan successful. Also, this is far larger and at a higher resolution than the front or back covers so if you open it in a new tab, you’ll be able to easily read the text.
Sleeve-back: The same issues appeared here so I used the same remedies. I didn’t bother altering the settings so this is also scanned at a high resolution and is larger than the front or the back.
Back cover: This is another one that the scanner had some trouble with. As with the front, the scanner added more contrast than is actually present so I had to SERIOUSLY dial it back in Photoshop.
Labels: He even got vanity labels…in 2002. LPs were NOT selling back then so to see vanity label is…interesting. Heck, to see a gatefold is too. Few got them back then. Nice package all around, honestly. The LPs even sound good!
