The rear sleeve credits the design to \u003cstrong\u003eTeenburger\u003c\/strong\u003e, Bubbles Notting Hill based company. As a number of people worked for Teenburger it is impossible to confirm if Bubbles had a hand in the sleeve design.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Morgan Blue Town","offers":[{"title":"2LP - 180g Red Vinyl","offer_id":47736794579289,"sku":"SDZ-29258","price":14.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0588\/3455\/0945\/files\/Red_Dirt_-_Red_Dirt_-_2024_Reissue.jpg?v=1706207304","url":"https:\/\/spindizzyrecords.com\/products\/red-dirt-red-dirt-2024-expanded-reissue","provider":"Spindizzy Dublin","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
