Paul Anka – Walk a Fine Line
Released: 1983
Label: Columbia/CBS Records
Notes:
Front cover: This was covered in shrink wrap when I got it and I only took it off to scan this. It’s in really good shape but the scanner had ideas that I had to counter which I did both at the scan stage and in Photoshop. Cloning and color replacement was used to correct things.
Sleeve-front: These sleeves are in great shape but I did have to replace the white and black because of wrinkles.
Sleeve-back: Again, the white and black areas were totally replaced at their largest size so as not to disturb the text.
Hype sticker: I replaced all the red because while it is in good shape, it could be better so I made it better. Very well preserved given that it lived on shrink wrap for decades.
Price sticker: This price sticker is a real time capsule so I HAD to include it. Of course, the Sound Warehouse is long gone so it’s really cool for that. Also cool is the date on the sticker that shows that this particular copy is just over 40 years old. Amazing it’s in as good a shape it’s in.
Back cover: This one was easy too. Minor scratches but nothing severe. All removed with cloning.
Labels: Labels are in excellent shape and the scanner liked the color. That doesn’t often happen with Columbia labels. All I did was remove the spindle hole.
