Would have been better if they had used the same matt finish card as Catatonic, instead of the dull gloss that attracts those bloody fingerprints! Most of my favourite sleeves use matt finish, Jimi Tenor's LP, Durutti Column's LC, most of the Clear stuff for example. Makes the whole thing look a lot more attractive, I think.

That was the point - they're both DR sleeves! So they probably did SAW 1 too, another one I like a lot. Cheerio! NP - Sketch For Summer - The Durutti Column
