Overview

Paths Of Pain To Jewels Of Glory - The Phantom Records Compilation --- 1983

This was a limited edition version (perhaps 20 copies) which were given to people that worked on the compilation (I believe mainly the graphics team) as well as owners and staff of the Phantom Records retail store. It differs to the standard edition in that the cover featured a peelable gold sock sticker (not red) beneath which, once peeled, is a photo of Dare Jennings' foot (à la the yellow banana of "The Velvet Undergound & Nico" LP). Came with a colour inner sleeve printed on card stock as well as an 11-3/4" x 23-1/2" double-sided black and white insert. The 4 sides of the cover and inner sleeve reference the front covers of the first 4 Velvet Underground albums, slightly irreverently. The inner sleeve face that references the third (self-titled) V.U. LP, features a photo of label owners Dare Jennings and Jules R.B. Normington, in the poses of Lou Reed and Sterling Morrison. Cat. no is PHANTOM 100 on sleeves and PHANTOM-100 on labels. A1: This version first released on 12" E.P. (PH-11) 16 July 1981 A2: Previously unreleased. Recorded October 1979.
