A completely unreleased, alternate US album cover for Fred Neil’s classic album Other Side of This Life on Capitol. This psychedelic cover bears no resemblance to the released cover, which shows Neil smoking a cigarette, against a blue sky. This was the original cover, but was obviously changed–for the better–by someone at Capitol Records, probably because of Neil’s teeth in the photograph. This is absolutely original, with the same catalog number (ST-657) as the regular issue, credits, and the same “printed in USA” credit (there is a USA credit on the disc as well.) We know of only three or four other copies of this, all in private collections. The cover is in Near Mint condition, as the disc. There is a very clean punched Capitol Records promo hole in the top right. Guaranteed to be an original 1971 US LP. To say this is rare is an understatement !
