[f_minor] surprise

[Mary Jo Watts]

Hi all,

I think Matthew is correct- no gatefold on ML 5060.  

Here are a couple of contemporaneous reviews that state GG’s own notes were inside the sleeve:

Btw Newspapers.com, Old Fulton History (https://www.fultonhistory.com) and Elephind (https://elephind.com) are all excellent newspaper repositories which contain untold GG riches in the form of reviews, concert notices, profiles and even an occasional unscripted interview. While there are many many newspaper archives out there - those three have the best search engines. The latter two are free. Most US states have their own archives as well. I’m not as familiar with archives that are specific to Canada but newspapers.com includes many Canadian papers. newspaperarchive.com has tons of great newspapers but the OCR is so terrible the search function is useless. 

Cheers!
Mary Jo

I’m almost 100% certain they didn’t have it back then, I believe they just took the LP sleeve (the flimsy cover for the LP itself and made that the left hand side of the gatefold, with the right hand side being page 2 of the small novel Glenn wrote for cover notes (which came as a separate 1-page insert).
