Here’s a die-cut cover I kept because I found a copy still in shrink and it looks like it could’ve been printed yesterday. Laura, die-cut just means the covers had a cut out so you could see through to the gatefold or the inner sleeve. In this case all those circles are cut outs, the colorful parts are on the inner sleeve.Note the other release of this record was a completely different die-cut on the Premier series which featured a lot of cool cover designs. https://www.discogs.com/release/2889157-The-Richard-Marino-Orchestra-Out-Of-This-World
