Lieutenant 12"

check out this rad submission from Buffalo hardcore band Lieutenant.... limited to just 300 copies, all 300 records come with a hand made cover comprised of splattered silver spray paint and watercolor and then finished off with a 2 color acrylic screen print over top. that's a whole lotta work to put in on 300 records, but it was clearly time well spent, as the finished product looks great! the art is a simple cut and paste composite piece, not sure what the Mona Lisa looking portrait is about, but this screen print is top quality so fuck it....


back cover is just the song titles and label info, not a whole lot to talk about over here....


there is a 2 sided 11" x 11" black and white photocopied insert included. the lyrics are clean and easy to read, and i really like the way they playfully approached their use of positive and negative space with photography. check out the next 2 photos....



A and B labels tie into the insert art and look good. how about that bubble gum pink vinyl!?!?!


included with my package was a rad hand made poster! it's an 11" x 17" one color screen print on 80lb yellow cover stock, and was treated with the same spray paint / watercolor splatter as the 12" jacket. not sure if these actually come with the record, but it really rounded out the whole package in my opinion....


you can get your copy from Art Of The Underground /Peter Walkee Records...
