nick2767: No blemishes on my vinyl version of Dusted.
You sure about that...? They get past the eyes of some of the most scrupulous appraisers. Look for that white streak beneath the letter 'S' where the ink just didn't print--you can run your fingernail through it and feel the slight indentation. It's more pronounced on some copies than others. It's definitely not part of Mark C.'s original artwork, and I've never seen a copy without it, including sealed ones. Ditto for the long bump that extends the length of the cover from the first letter 'L' in 'SKULL'. Other 'white-outs' take the form of little 'patches', and vary from copy to copy. If I had a bigger scanner, I'd upload the covers of my two copies (including a sealed one), and show you what I mean. Maybe there are pictures of copies available on some of the internet record stores--I'll try and take a look around if I can find the time. If your LP copy doesn't have these defects, then I'm presuming its one of an earlier or later (and most likely smaller) pressing....
By the way: Yeah, they were a great band. 'Wisdom & Gravy' and 'Step' stand out big-time for me.
