Notes:

Front cover:  This is in prety good shape.  The jacket is a little off-balance and, due to the precise form, it’s not something I can fix completely but I did what I could.  It has a cut-out on the right side that I eliminated.  Incidentally, while merely noted by it’s 1978 copyright, the version of “Someday We’ll All Be Free” on this album is different from the version on “Extension of a Man”.  The track is remixed and the trumpet solo on the original is replaced by a tenor sax solo by David Sanborn.  I’m assuming they thought a sax solo would be more appropriate for a single release than a trumpet solo.

Sleeve-front:  It’s a simple company sleeve but I like it so it’s here.  I removed the label hole and re-colored.

Sleeve-back:  The other side. The only difference is the by-line at the bottom.

Back cover:  The back’s not bad either.  It’s off-balance too but I did what I could.

Labels:  Very nice labels.  All the yellow is still brilliant so just scanned and uploaded.
