Thinking about this amazing artwork created by John Yates @stealworks for the OTTAWA Third Age 1-sided LP that we pressed for @council_records! The image was created/compiled from an old screen transparency and some photos that @martincrudo took of the band. A stunning package when paired with the Natural PVC that we used. Still a couple left - score yours from Council’s bandcamp today!!

👁️🧿👁️‍🗨️ This Blue Note inspired squared-off edge has become one of our signatures here at Smashed. Creates a remarkable hand feel, helps with proper handling, along with preventing rip-through of innersleeves/record packaging & artwork.
