Yes - quite surprising it was used as-is, with no special treatment per Richard's recent visual identity...

What are we looking at here? Only have my smartphone so can't see the picture on detail...

it's the full album art

VW camper is the new tank

What does "Record is a 10" pressed onto a 12" even mean.  it's officially a bootleg?

the groove starts 2 inches into the record. Not a bootleg for the last fucking time

Why not just press onto a 10"?

Because 10" require different moulds, setup times, extra costs, etc. Same reason they charge more for XL sizes at the shops. Common sense, innit.

XL is usually the same price here, but 2XL and up usually have a couple $ difference.

I cropped this pic for my vinyl rip album art.

Actually, it's because Todd decided to press it at Archers Record Pressing in Detroit, and they don't have the capability to press 10"s.

Is this record still available in the shop??

Ah, good to know - although I think my point still stands - cheaper to press a 12" than a 10" (last time I checked). Might be wrong on that too though!

No it shouldn't be cheaper to press a 12" than a 10". Though in general, 10"s contain less music so seem to have less value than a 12", so I think many ppl expect to pay less $ than a 12". Same goes for 7"s. Basically 10"s and 7"s are less financially viable formats than a 12"... though in the case of an AFX 12", which I'm sure anyone would be happy to buy for $20 regardless of what format and how much music's on it, I don't think doing it as a 12" gave Todd any advantage other than the fact that he was able to press it at his local pressing plant, who don't do 10"s

”Extortionate”!

Why not have the grooves on the outer part of the record?
