the cover art is nice and weird, featuring an abstract image of a man having a smoke, photocopied to perfection. BUT, what's really great on this cover is that fucking SLOBS symbol that they came up with in the corner! holy shit, that thing is good! i love the way they handled the type below it as well. it's very controlled yet perfectly punk. man, that thing will definitely be making a page of "classic punk logos" in some book 30 years from now....
this is a 1 color photocopied cover on an 80lb uncoated cover stock, folded not glued. here we have a great "no bullshit" back cover. big bold type, continuing to play with the typewriter / hand written mixing that worked so well for them on the front. it's great....
there is a one sided 7" x 7" photocopied insert as well, i'm not sure what kind of paper this is, but i am not a fan of it. it feels kinda weird in your hands, like it absorbed all the moisture in the air or something. i don't know.... anyway, the hand written lyrics look great with the photo....
ok, as if that logo wasn't awesome enough on the front cover, check it out on the A side label. the "O" in the slobs symbol lined up perfectly with the hole in the center of the record, making for a nice composition...
B side label is another abstract image, this one is my favorite in the layout....
