MISFITS - HORROR BUSINESS - 1979 ALTERNATE SLEEVE!!!

THIS AUCTION IS JUST FOR THE SLEEVE!!! THERE IS NO RECORD!!!

Here's some history on this rare unissued sleeve from MISFITSCENTRAL.COM:
"Meanwhile, Glenn had 2000 sleeves printed with a back cover featuring a group photo of the band. Due to the light coloring of the black ink on the back, Glenn decided to redo the sleeve. Most of the original sleeves were cut in half by Glenn and Bobby; the front covers were saved for use as promotional items, and the back covers were thrown away. Bobby saved about 20-30 uncut sleeves and more than 100 cut sleeves. Some uncut sleeves were also saved by Glenn and given to Barry Henssler of The Necros. Both Bobby and Barry began selling their sleeves in the late 1980s. The alternate sleeves were never folded, glued, or issued with vinyl. Some collectors have since replaced their regular sleeves with the alternate sleeve."

Sleeve is in great shape... though,as you can see from the pictures it's a bit rough a bit around the edges and it has a few bend marks.

Please excuse the weird pattern my scanner gave the back cover...
prolly something to do w/ the halftone... the real item does NOT have that checkerboard look to it.

Despite what it says above this copy was at one time glued... and from the looks of it a LOOONG time ago...
Then at some point down the line the gluing came undone. See photo of inside sleeve.

any questions...feel free to ask!
