Here we go.
This post introduces another item from my Sex Pistols collection.
I recently obtained a copy of The Biggest Blow / My Way with its original Japanese obi strip, which I had previously covered on this blog.
This time, I’ll be focusing only on the obi strip, rather than the record itself.
🧷 Obi strip details
✔ Overall
The obi strip features text across its entire surface, making it a notably information-rich design.
▼Front
▼Back
✔ Catch copy
At the top of the obi, a period-specific catch copy typical of Japanese releases is printed.
✔ Liner notes
There is no separate insert.
Instead, liner notes written by Kensho Ohnuki are printed directly on the lower section of the obi strip.
✔ Lyrics
The reverse side of the obi includes the song lyrics in English.
▼No One Is Innocent
▼My Way
As this article focuses only on the obi strip, I’ll leave it here for now.
For an obi, it’s a surprisingly information-dense piece.
🔜 Coming up next
Next time, I’ll be introducing “The Swindle Continues.”
Thanks for reading.
Bye bye.🖐️
