actually, it was probably pressed out here in brooklyn by coxone at his shop,
where he has (an apparantly horrible) record-cutting machine. i diestroyed a
needle once playing one of his pressings as it played right up on to the
label while i was in the bathroom! and yeah, the cover's are usually printed
as bad as the vinyl is made -- i've got a prince buster where the artwork is
little more than the vinyl labels repro'ed...
