Album & Cover
A cartoon rodent a la Fritz the Cat holds out a piece of cheese to us with the title of the album speech bubbled as “Two Quid Deal?” Dearies, a two quid deal in 72 would have got you an eighth of dope. Subversive stuff eh? It would also have been the cost of the album. Wow. Clever stuff this marketing. A printed inner sleeve was included in the price along with a fine poster of band and said rodent.
