Perhaps someone could scan it in. Not sure if its on Jock O'B's wonderful site.

(Stalag Polygram to the habitues) The Art director would assign designer credits on album art randomly even to secretaries, five credits to a name, so as to qualify for more votes for Grammy award categories. One of the slimiest places I have worked over the years. The idea of transferring Roxy video to dvd came up a while back: My tech guy says home made DVDs are fine as long as they are no more than about an hour. Beyond that they get compressed and the image degrades. I believe Reecy has the afore mentioned tapes. I for one would be glad to kick in for a conversion to DVD, as I imagine others would. Just a thought.
