The Wiz – The Super Soul Musical “Wonderful Wizard of Oz”
Released: 1975
Label: Atlantic Records
Notes:
Front cover: This one is wearing every bit of it’s nearly 40 years. The cover has gone totally yellow and the black has lost it’s boldness. I spent quite a bit of time fixing this one.
Sleeve-front: The yellowing continued here. Far too much of it to leave alone so I completely replaced the color as I did on the cover.
Sleeve-back: Same issue. Too yellow to leave alone. The text survived the color replacement quite nicely.
Back cover: Again, just trashed. Much yellowing and all color had to be replaced save the characters.
Promo stickers: Both of them were badly yellowed. I had to replace just about everything about them – even hand-drawing over the lettering to try to save it. The results here are mixed at best but it’s all I could do.
Back cover: This needed fixing too. Lots of scratches but after color replacement, it came out incredibly well.
Labels: The labels provided respite. These are in great shape…somehow.
