Remarks

• The cover as a whole is designed to imply an official release, including the catalogue# MR015.

It has a thumb cut to the right side of the back. The catalogue# does, however, refer to the Alice single.

• The vinyls runt at 45 rpm and come with plain white labels without any information.

• The picture on the cover front is a detail from the World Press Photo of the Year 1968 taken by AP-photographer Eddie Adams.

It shows the scene when captured and hand-cuffed Viet Cong Captain Nguyễn Văn Lém was summarily executed through a headshot

in the open road by Vietnamese Chief of National Police Nguyễn Ngọc Loan.

• The original photo was taken in b/w and is toned here in light pink.
