Reviews
- I picked up a copy of this amazing-sounding German 2xLP today, at an excellent record store in Novato, CA. It came with the poster as described above, but also included an oddity that appeared to have been inside one of the sleeves since it left the factory: a 45rpm Virgin single by Julie Covington on coral-colored vinyl. The A-side is "Only Women Bleed," with "Easy to Slip" on the B-side. It's possible Virgin was "slipping" these inside as a promo, or maybe just trying to get rid of them. (They probably didn't sell well, due to the comically lurid song titles.) Virgin VS 196, (c) 1977, produced by Joe Boyd & John Wood. Nothing in runouts.
