Resist Control - Dissipation Ep

here is the second 7" that Peter Walkee Records had sent over for review... This Resist Control Ep was also made in a limited quantity of only 500 records, so the entire pressing was able to receive hand screen printed covers. using a thick black matte finish card stock, these covers were first hand splattered with a metallic silver paint and then screen printed with red and white ink on top. The splattered paint was a great way to add extra interest to the design while also making each record a "one of a kind" item. The design itself is pretty straightforward, nothing too groundbreaking but certainly a cool looking record...


The covers were cut and folded after printing, not glued. The back cover art is a continuation of the stripe-divided layout theme that was established on the front cover. Again, nothing too groundbreaking here, but certainly a fine looking specimen...


There is also a 7" x 7" black and white photocopied insert included as a lyric sheet. All the lyrics here have been typed out using a typewriter based font and arranged in neat columns. Everything is very easy to read and well organized, and on this side of the sheet they incorporated the image used on the cover art into the bottom corner...


This next shot is of the other side of the insert, basically the same deal, just with out the image at the bottom....


100 copies out of the 500 pressed were on a clear vinyl. The A and B labels are loud and proud with their typography....
