ECHOES VOL.3 - Original edition folded paper cover (back)

ECHOES is a series of 4 vinyl bootlegs of live and demo material. The first one was put out as a 7” and the others were released as a 12” record, just as the present one. All releases maintain the same front cover layout in different colours.

See Echoes Vol 1, Echoes Vol 2, Echoes Vol 4.

An ECHOES CD-series does exist as well but with different content and with a different appearance.

    has a dark rosé foldout paper cover and black vinyls with plain yellow (orange) labels.

      coming with a booklet in German language and a numbered limited-edition sticker on
      the cover front giving the number of the individual copy counting from 0001 to 0100.

      in German language and a limited-edition sticker on the cover front.
