Yes, please send such comments to that thread so that we do not contaminate this one with such nonsense.
Fortunately, a battalion is smaller than a regiment, so there are fewer of you out there than some of you think.

Two, or none?

Two. There's a blatant difference between the spacing. The spine reads
"THE SISTERSOF MERCY FIRST ANDLAST AND ALWAYS"

Sure it's not "THE SISTERSOFMERCY FIRST ANDLAST AND ALWAYS" ?
This is all your fault James!

Yep, sure. As I don't and will never own these items, I've only been able to zoom in on the scans, but even so I can still spot the mistake.
And yes, it's
James' fault for pointing it out, but ultimate blame lies with the lack of quality control at the printers.

Don't blame the printers. They just print what they're told to print. The proofs should have been checked by the designers.
The buck stops here.

In all honesty, the first copy of FALAA I ever had was a cassette of the 85 version, and that was riddled with typos. There were 3 different variants on "A Rock and a Hard Place".
Didn't detract one little bit from the music within.

It took the CD release to do that

Ok, so it's the
designers' fault...maybe they shoud employ someone with better work ethics then
mh I've got a copy of the cassette as well...not noticed the typos before, I'll have to have a check when I'm next near it. My tape collection is still Up North in storage.
Hmmm...I may be starting to come around to the idea of actually buying these things.

Cos they corrected the typos.
We
need FALAA with typos. It's tradition, and part of what makes it a great LP!
