| Notes | Sorry to say that this is a design whose strengths really have to be experienced physically. That’s because part of what makes the sleeve so delicious is the heavyweight cardboard, another part is the heaviness of the vinyl. It’s the vinyl equivalent of a tank and all the more delicious for it. Still, the great big typography spread across the 24″ inner gatefold is great too.
