Ralph Ep...

HI! sorry for the brief break in posts, i've been pretty busy lately and haven't been able to make time for quality entries..... but i'm back now and have a pretty impressive pile of vinyl to move thru, so let's get started...

i picked up this awesome RALPH ep based solely on the cover art and packaging (or, lack there of). the cover art is a top notch collage framed within a thin black key line. there is a little bit of everything in this image, including what i believe to be part of a Norman Rockwell painting? anyway, i love this thing, it has great attitude and a bit of a sense of humor about itself....


this cover is literally just that, a cover panel. there is no back panel, it's just a 2 sided photocopy on a 80lb card stock, and i have to say it's kinda refreshing! all the info was able to be worked into the back side of the cover and still retain a good balance of negative space. all the type appears to be cut and pasted from a typewriter and layed out on a photocopier.


A and B side labels are blank white with hand stamps, the A side gets a stamp of the band name in a nice bold condensed typeface. i'm always a sucker for a clean font that has been kearned out nice and wide...


the B side gets a stamp of the label name....


this thing is limited to 300 copies according to the Scavenger of Death Records blog, but they still have some for sale if you act quick...
