This is definitely one of the weirder looking records I own. Good name for the group.
It's acoustic folk music and includes a Pete Seger song

Sometimes I buy Southeast Asian records totally on speculation ... you never know what weird and wonderful things might be in the grooves. This one turned out not to be very exciting, but it came with a funny story. The seller told me this duo's Chinese name would be rendered as The Swallow Sisters in English. I tried to google them but gave up after ten pages of youtube porno videos

Tonight I opened a copy of the 13th Floor Elevators mono first album that I have had for years. It's a spare copy I got on eBay in pretty ragged condition so I don't look at it often. Tucked inside the sleeve I found 3 large, heavy duty stickers (like bumper stickers) in red and green, which have a graphic similar to the front cover of the LP. They say "Slide Machine" and have a pyramid illustration. I have no idea where these came from. Maybe I once knew but have forgotten!! More likely, I just never looked inside the sleeve before. Anyone seen one of these before?

As you can see, someone (presumably the creator of this artifact) has used texta to touch up white spots on the sticker. All three copies have been repaired in this way. It's a sort of thick vinyl-like paper with an adhesive backing.

Is there a C14-dating-app yet? Or do you have a less technical way to determine vintage? It looks old but maybe not 54 yrs old.

Certainly cool, though!

I have spotted this Malaysian pirate version of an Archies record several times but do not own it myself. Has Archie had a sex change?

In today's world, probably yes, although Jughead beat him to it!!!
