Some crucial represses of classics from the two important decades’ turning point, 1990.
The first 1990 record is the full-length of the band Supertouch. Originally the release was meant to come in a gatefold cover, but Revelation thought of that to be too expensive back then. Now in 2013 the record has been given the treatment intended way back and is released on colour vinyl and in that slick gatefold sleeve. Anyway look up this post on Double Cross to see the blueprint in the Revelation Records files about the cover. It’s the third post on Thursday, July 23, 2009.
The second record from 1990 was originally pressed on maroon and black. It’s the first Shelter release and was released by Revelation Records. As the cover suggests, Ray – the frontman – was already into Hare Krishna after ending Youth Of Today. This is the quick history about this, in case you want to know more, maybe Double Cross would be a better source.

Yes, that why I made the picture. A winner packaging… Out-classing all the rest. it's a heartwarming parcel in this rainy weather as you can see through my window.
