Eighties Vinyl Records will be producing the Limited Edition 10" EP on Orange vinyl. Legendary Psychedelic Artist John Van Hammersveld has designed the sleeve. He wanted to work with the band after hearing their Debut Single 'Siren Song' and stated 'Why do I think this sounds like I was at the Avalon Ballroom, June 1967'. This is an amazing honour for an unknown Liverpool band as John designed the Beatles 'Magical Mystery Tour' LP Cover plus The Stones 'Exile on Main Street', Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane, Dylan and Doors Album Sleeves. He also designed the most Iconic Hendrix, Cream and Endless Summer posters.
