1971 - ALICE COOPER - LOVE IT TO DEATH - 12" VINYL RECORD LP - INCLUDES A LAMINATED COVER WITH THE RARE AND FAMOUS THUMB BEING SHOWN BY ALICE WHICH WAS SOON AIRBRUSHED OUT WHEN THEY FINALLY DISCOVERED WHAT VINCE HAD DONE - MANUFACTURED AND DISTRIBUTED IN GERMANY ON FRANK ZAPPA'S STRAIGHT RECORDS LABEL - STRAIGHT - 062-92 463.

THIS IS A BEAUTIFUL AND RARE RECORD PRESSED ON THE GERMAN STRAIGHT LABEL WHICH WOULD BE OF INTREST TO ALICE COOPER, FRANK ZAPPA AND STRAIGHT RECORDS LABEL COLLECTORS. FIRST THERE'S THE RARE GATEFOLD LAMINATED COVER WHICH HAS THE THUMB BEING GIVEN BY ALICE FOR ALL TO SEE. YEAH VINCE WAS VERY CLEVER STICKING HIS THUMB THRU THAT FABRIC AND MAKING AN IMAGE THAT TO MANY RESEMBLES A PENIS, OF COURSE IT DIDN'T TAKE THE RECORD COMPANY VERY LONG TO DISCOVER WHAT WAS GOING ON AND FIRST THEY CENSORED THE COVER AND ADDED A LARGE WHITE BORDER, THEN LATER JUST AIRBRUSED VINCE'S THUMB OUT. FINALLY THERE'S THE GERMAN STRAIGHT RECORDS LABEL THAT'S A DIFFERENT SHADE OF PINK THAN THE US COPIES, AND THE STRAIGHT LOGO PRINTED DOWN THE LABEL LOOKS MUCH SHARPER, AND OF COURSE THERE'S GERMAN LANGUAGE PRINTING ON BOTH LABELS.

THE GATEFOLD COVER IS LAMINATED ON THE FRONT AND BACK BUT NOT INSIDE OF THE GATEFOLD. THERE'S A RECORD INDENTATION ON BOTH THE FRONT AND BACK COVERS THAT PRODUCED SOME RING WEAR BUT STAYED ON TOP OF THE LAMINATION AND DIDN'T GO THRU, BOTH THE FRONT AND BACK COVERS ARE STILL SHINY. THERE'S A LITTLE WEAR NEAR THE EDGE BY THE SEAM. THE INSIDE OF THE GATEFOLD LOOKS GREAT WITH NOT MUCH WEAR AT ALL, WITH WHAT LOOKS LIKE SOME LGHT YELLOWING STARTING TO DEVELOP NEAR SOME OF THE EDGES. [ SEE PHOTOS ].

THERE ARE SOME LIGHT SURFACE MARKS ON BOTH SIDES, NOT VERY MANY AND SO LIGHT THAT YOU'D NEED TO MOVE THE RECORD AROUND UNDER A BRIGHT LIGHT TO FIND MOST OF THEM. NONE ARE SERIOUS AND THE RECORD STILL SHINES BRIGHT ON BOTH SIDES. BEAUTIFUL GERMAN STRAIGHT RECORDS LABELS WITH NO WEAR AT ALL THAT I COULD FIND ON EITHER OF THEM. THE RECORD COMES WITH A COLLECTORS TYPE OF INNER SLEEVE AND A PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVE.
