Inside the innercover a 5 inch record. The innercover is handnumbered 1 to 6.Size of the box: 15 – 15 – 1,4 cm.

Handwritten and drawn recordlabels. 33 Rpm. Each record is individually cut (not pressed) by hand. This means that every record is an original. Very raw and loud cut. The quality of the cutting is very high, and better then any industrially made pressing I have heard from my music till now (The same goes for all other 5 inch records in this series).
