Fear Of Smell

Front Cover

This one comes courtesy of Nate Wilson, Gloom Records magnate and all around fine person (go there and buy some of his records would ya?). Also the handwriting bears a resemblance to Variation #5, which also has Fear o’ Smell as the title. Irish? Maybe. All right, here’s the words from Nate himself:

I bought mine when it came out at a great little store called Erl records in Albany NY. I remember going there, seeing the many different covers Sam had dropped off at the shop, and picking out the one I thought was the funniest.

Years later when some of us asked Sam about the cover of the repress, his response was simple..”every good record has ham on the cover”.
