MFSB – Universal Love
Released: 1975
Label: Philadelphia International/Columbia/Epic/CBS Records
Notes:
Front cover: This cover was a mess. For whatever reason, the color used by the plant yellowed very easily. I have two copies of this (one with a price sticker I can’t take off…ugh) and both have this problem. I did what I could to restore using “remove color cast” in Photoshop as well as cloning out as much brown as I could. Some brown remains due to an inability to remove it all without totally damaging the cover. Still, it’s a thousand percent better than it was. I very nearly didn’t even post this and I wouldn’t have if not for the rarity of the cover itself.
Sleeve-front: These sleeves are actually from two different copies of the record. One is a one-sided sleeve and the other has the same information on both sides. I decided to show them off here. They’ll go into the sleeve gallery too shortly.
Sleeve-back: These were both easy to work with. White replacement saved the day on both of these since both have some wrinkle marks and browning due to age.
Back cover: Again, the odd browning issue. I simply couldn’t get it all using the techniques above but I did all I could.
Labels: Labels are in great shape, though the scanner wanted both to be brighter. Both are a dark olive in my presence so I translated that here but altering the color at the scan stage. Spindle hole came out fairly easily.
