Mil-Spec's Lonely Hearts Club Band

Mil-Spec toured over here in the UK last month. As much as I would have liked to see them play live, the closest show to me was at a venue that is not particularly easy for me to get to, and I decided that I would stay at home rather than face the journey. A friend reached out to let me know that they had a tour version of the latest record, and the offer was there to pick one up for me. Whilst I had already picked up a copy of the record earlier this year, and am trying to hold off on buying multiple copies of things these days, the allure of a limited tour version proved too much.

The tour cover is the often seen 'single piece of card folded over the regular record cover', but unlike most, this isn't a crappy photocopied piece of paper. They obviously gave this some thought and went with a Sgt. Pepper rip off design, which is quite fitting for a UK tour I suppose. It's well thuoght out and well executed, and actually looks better than the proper cover with the huge sandwich.
