i bought one of each for the hell of it. chris thought it was all amusing 
and apparently got some for his collection. one has that impact cover 
with sloan written in red above, and jay with a bad black dye job (am i 
ever glad he got his natural color back;) and chris with new prescription 
dark shades;) on the back is "sloan twice removed" at a 45 degree angle

the other is a bad, grainy stretched twice removed cover in b\w with 
"+hip club groove +the local rabbits" in the bottom corner and on the 
back in rainbow colors, "sloan" as written on 2Xgone's cover.

very cheesy stuff. le spectrum's staff tried to make them stop to no avail.

i should hang them in the hard rock cafe for losers, but what's this 
"hard rock" crap, lest we forget gary numan and hall and oates on the 
wall;)
