Just dug out a copy of Views in a second hand book shop a couple of weeks back. $15 CAN almost mint. Had a copy years ago but lent it out and never got it back Censored. A lot of things are revealed here if you can get a copy. Not sure what the " fair " market price is on the internet but I know it isn't something that pops up every day. I found this one hiding in a stack of old music magazines. Used to have a few posters but the only one I have left is the flying elephants from the second Osibisa album ( sans logo ). It's rolled up in the closet.

You forgot Metallica's black album. And even more, if you take the negative of The Beatle's White album, it will also match perfectly

^ I didn't forget, but the Metallica has a subtle logo on the cover.  

And actually there is a Beatles Black Album ~

If you are referring to what I said all I can say is I doubt he would give away "trade secrets." It's part of the mystique. Do you think magicians will tell you how they do their magic tricks if you ask them too? 
Too right.

Yeah, it's got the subtle logo, but this is about the borders matching, and they do match perfectly. If you put the 3 black albums together, it would look like a long rectangular Metallica black album. Or you include that Beatles album (which one is it, by the way? I don't remember it), then perhaps it will look like a collaboration between Metallica and The Beatles...

Actually no. This time I was wrong. See Dean's post above. I didn't know that about the postcards or that he mentioned it in his book.
