I thought the best sandpaper sleeve was the one for the first Durutti
Column album, "The Return of the Durutti Column", FAC14, I think. The
idea, spelled out by Tony Wilson as only he can, was that it would destroy
all the other records in your collection. And he used to be fond of
telling the story of Joy Division sticking the sandpaper to the sleeves
whilst watching a pornographic film.
This was in 1979 so I'm not sure where that places it in the chronology of
abrasive covers.
