Rose Kemp - Unholy Majesty [Aurora Borealis]

This record is a real beauty, check out what Uncle Nate said about it on his blog, I can't say anything about it that hasn't been said already, all I can say is you need this in your life.  The CD version is on One Little Indian Records, this LP was licenced To Aurora Borealis Records and what a package this is.  First off the artwork is super clean and literally pops off the cover, it's done by Glynn Scrawled who you might recognise from doing bits and bobs for that band Rot In Hell.  The layout really takes advantage of the extra space the gatefold format allows, two images on the inside with limited credits and a final fourth image on the back.  Job done.  The insert is the record bag too and that's just black text on white giving you the wonderful lyrics and somewhat jovial thanks list.  I'm pretty siked that I managed to get this on red, there was 1000 pressed with 300 on red and the rest on black, I ordered it from some online store here in the UK and by chance I got this colour, result!
