Taking it’s cue from the hot metal type tray on the ‘USSR Repertoire’, cover this sleeve featured a lot of actual letterpress stamps although I can’t remember where they came from or where they went. Vadim also had a picture of some steps he wanted included, hence the image on the cover. This was done largely on tour, using the computer at the new NInja office in Montreal and I was trying out Photoshop a little more than usual (woo! dynamically stretched letters!) Overdid it on the texture a bit and the CD disc is a diabolical mess but it took ages to line up all that text.
