Luther – This Close to You
Released: 1977
Label: Cotillion/Atlantic Records
Notes:
Front cover: The jacket itself isn’t bad but the promo sticker is absolutely awful. It’s full of grease marks and major discoloration. I put more work into that than anything else here. Of course, once I re-colored it, I neglected to realize I was hurting both photographs of Luther so I had to re-scan the jacket to paste those elements back onto the cover as presented here. A total headache and I did what I could. There was also a cut-out hole in Diane’s hair that had to go and that was easily removed.
Sleeves: These had wrinkles and I removed a few but couldn’t go all the way without damaging the text.
Back cover: This side looked good except for a few mild cracks and the cut-out hole – this time in Anthony’s hair. All easily removed.
Labels: No worries here. Spindle hole easily removed and the label is very clean.
