I was just looking at the label -- that drawing at the top has a surreal feeling -- and I noticed that the word "BY" is exactly the same font and size and on the same line as the group's name. I don't think I've ever seen that before.
I never understood why they chose such a small font for Dice Records. I would think you would want brand recognition. They eventually figured this out, and 2nd pressings of Dice material have DICE in large letters with the hand next to it. I got a kick out of the "BY THE" as well. The flip side just says "The Avalons", but there's a young kid singing lead. Maybe they wanted to differentiate that this is only The Avalons?
@PJDooWop Yeah, I've seen the word "DICE" bigger. The little lettering is part of what makes it weird. It would have been wonderful if they simply had the drawing with the hand and the dice and nothing else.
I like this song! If you know where I can get this to download to my ipod let me know, because itunes doesn't have it. Thanks! ;)
