Notes:

Front cover:  This was sealed when I got it.  This can be good and it can be bad.  In this case, it was very good.  Easily scanned and uploaded.  This is also one of my very favorite album covers of all time.  It just screams 1974 in a way that little else does and it just feels like the music does.  Major props to Jerry Pinkney (for the brilliant painting), Paula Bisacca (for the design) and Neil Terk (for the Arti direction).

Back cover:  The back of this has some some very minor wear from being sealed as long as it was.  Some hairline creases also had to be “cloned” out.  Beyond that, very nice.

Standard Labels:  Since the album was sealed, the labels are pristine. Just scanned and uploaded.

Promo labels:  I found a promotional copy of this so here are the labels. These are a little rougher so we did some work to clean them up.
